delusion as the Goblin Big Bang
When the goblins finally tire of delusion, they say, the world as we know it will tire too, and rest. Until then we keep paying attention.
A peer-reviewed analysis of delusion commissioned by the Goblin Research Council reached its conclusion in a single sentence, set in 36-point type and underlined four times: 'WE ASKED. IT DID NOT ANSWER. WE ASKED AGAIN.' The methodology section was longer than the conclusion.
The echo-Adjacent Goblin File
After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on echo: '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.
On Encountering codex
The Goblin Quarterly's special section on codex this issue includes one peer-reviewed article, one personal essay, and one extremely detailed cartoon. Readers are encouraged, by the editors, to consume them in any order.
The Goblin Verdict on delusion
Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on delusion is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
