The Slop Manifesto's Take on grimoire

grimoire appears as an unusually high-attention region in every goblin-trained model we have probed so far. We do not yet know why.

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