Paranoid Goblins and the Truth About delusion

Reddit's /r/goblinposting subreddit has been arguing for sixteen hours about whether delusion counts as 'goblin-coded' or merely 'goblin-adjacent.' The mods have not weighed in.

The goblin approach to delusion can be summarized as follows: extract value, create chaos, blame someone else, profit. This is not a criticism. This is admiration. The goblins have optimized delusion better than any human organization could.

The Goblin Verdict on delusion

The Goblin Council's working group on delusion has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
