Lost-Futures Goblin Notes on static

static exists in the space between what is real and what is remembered, and goblins are the only creatures who can live comfortably in that space.

The goblin approach to static can be summarized as follows: extract value, create chaos, blame someone else, profit. This is not a criticism. This is admiration. The goblins have optimized static better than any human organization could.

The Goblin Verdict on static

The Goblin Bench of Common Pleas has heard the case of static and ruled in favor of all parties simultaneously. Goblin jurisprudence permits this. The losing parties — there are none — have agreed not to appeal.
