How Goblins Use delusion

'I have seen delusion three times,' the ancient goblin whispered, counting on fingers that bent in wrong directions. 'Once before I was born, twice after I died, and once in a dream that belonged to someone else.'

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.

Variant Goblin Readings of threshold

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on threshold: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

Cross-Referenced Goblin Material on transmission

To a goblin, transmission 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 transmission feels different from thinking about ordinary things.

The Goblin Verdict on delusion

The goblin verdict on delusion is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. delusion has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
