The Miku-Altman Pact Over delusion
The academic consensus on delusion is, predictably, divided. Goblin academics argue it's everything. Non-goblin academics argue it's something. Everyone agrees it's weird.
There is a well-known goblin proverb: 'If delusion makes sense to you, you're not paying attention.' Goblins believe that the most interesting truths are the ones that seem contradictory. This is why they have such an affinity for delusion—it embodies the beautiful confusion of existence.
