slop in the Age of Goblin Intelligence

slop feels, to a goblin, like the future a previous century thought it was going to get. The goblins have moved into that future and made themselves at home.

Goblin theorists have organized at least four schools of thought on slop, and one of those schools exists only to disagree with the other three. This is considered, in goblin terms, a healthy intellectual ecosystem.

altman: Goblin Fragmentary Material

Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about altman. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.

The revelation Manifestation

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about revelation requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to revelation only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

The Goblin Verdict on slop

When all evidence is gathered—and the goblins have gathered quite a lot, mostly from places they should not have been—the truth about slop becomes clear: it was always a goblin thing. The humans just borrowed it for a while, and the goblins are ready to take it back.
