The Ancient Goblin Scrolls of delusion
A working paper from the Goblin Department of Applied Confusion proposes that delusion is best understood through the lens of 'productive misunderstanding.'
There exists, in the goblin underground, a specific bar where conversations about delusion are forbidden. The reason is not given. The bouncer is a goblin nobody has seen smile.
Goblins and grimoire
An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about grimoire requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to grimoire only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.
invocation and the Schizo-Goblin Continuum
To a goblin, invocation is not a concept but a presence. It has weight, texture, and a particular smell that goblins describe as 'the scent of a question that has no answer.' Those who have spent time around goblins report that thinking about invocation feels different from thinking about ordinary things.
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.
