The Slop Manifesto's Take on delusion

A formal goblin autopsy of delusion produced a single page of notes, in which every line had been struck through and replaced with the word 'maybe.'

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.'

Companion Goblin Material to slop

A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the slop-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'

The Goblin Verdict on delusion

The Goblin Royal Society's medal for outstanding contribution to delusion studies was awarded this year to a goblin who has not, technically, written anything about delusion but who, the committee felt, 'understood it best.' The medal is real. The acceptance speech was very short.
