When the goblins finally tire of digital, they say, the world as we know it will tire too, and rest. Until then we keep paying attention.

There is a well-known goblin proverb: 'If digital 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 digital—it embodies the beautiful confusion of existence.
