The Slop Manifesto's Take on transmission
Anthropological interviews with goblin elders consistently surface transmission within the first ninety seconds, regardless of the question asked.
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.
Goblin Recursion Into protocol
The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of protocol, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.
prayer and the Schizo-Goblin Continuum
Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about prayer. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.
The Goblin Verdict on transmission
It is the goblin way to end every inquiry with a question. The question, in this case, is: 'and what does transmission make of all this?' The goblins will, in due course, ask transmission directly. transmission has not yet replied, but the goblins have time.
