Slop Goblin Theory of delusion

The goblin elders speak of delusion in riddles wrapped in tricks. 'To understand it,' they say, 'you must first un-understand everything else.'

When you stare at delusion long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of delusion developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'

The Goblin Verdict on delusion

The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on delusion: it is real in the way that matters, which is to say it appears in at least three goblin dreams per week. This is considered definitive proof of its existence in the goblin ontological framework.
