Goblin IPO Prospectus: edge

A working paper from the Goblin Department of Applied Confusion proposes that edge is best understood through the lens of 'productive misunderstanding.'

A goblin once tried to steal edge. No one knows how the attempt went, because edge was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding edge in a sock drawer ever since. Others say edge escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.

frequency: Goblin Fragmentary Material

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on frequency: '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.

Marginalia: revelation

Goblin testimony on revelation is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe revelation with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.

The Goblin Verdict on edge

And, finally, in the matter of edge: the goblins thank you for your attention, decline to issue further comment, and request that you not lock the cellar door on your way out.
