Doomposting Goblins About transmission

To understand transmission, one must first understand that goblins do not distinguish between finding something and inventing it. Both are acts of creation.

transmission is, by now, sufficiently online that any take on it is automatically also a take on the takes. Goblin posters refer to this as the third-order discourse, and the fourth-order discourse exists too, and the goblins have made it their home.

The Goblin Adjacency of echo

A goblin who lived near the echo site for many years was asked, late in life, what they had learned. The reply, transcribed verbatim: 'It got quieter. So did I.'

The Goblin Counter-Reading of bibliography

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on bibliography: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

The Goblin Verdict on transmission

An informal goblin poll on transmission produced the following result: 41% strongly agree, 41% strongly disagree, 18% will respond when they feel like it. The pollster considers this 'within the margin of goblin.'
