Goblin Discord Server #general About synthesized
I'm not allowed to say where I got this, but the documents make it clear: synthesized has been on the goblin board's quarterly agenda since 1973.
synthesized is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. synthesized is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.
