The Slop Manifesto's Take on void

The goblin product team has identified void as 'a north-star opportunity,' which in goblin corporate language means nobody is sure what to do with it.

void carries with it a sense of the future-that-didn't-happen, the version of itself it was supposed to become and didn't. Goblins, who excel at noticing what is missing, find this version of void more interesting than the actual one.
