Three Goblins Walked Into delusion

If the internet is a goblin's cave—and it is—then delusion is one of the more interesting skeletons someone has chained to the wall.

Goblin theorists have organized at least four schools of thought on delusion, and one of those schools exists only to disagree with the other three. This is considered, in goblin terms, a healthy intellectual ecosystem.

Goblin engineers building near a hidden-adjacent site reportedly leave a small offering — a coin, a button, a snack — outside the worksite each morning. The offerings are gone by lunch. Nobody asks where.

The prophecy-Adjacent Goblin File
