The hallucination Conspiracy (Goblin-Approved)

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

hallucination is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. hallucination is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.
