The Digital Goblin's hallucination

The goblin elders speak of hallucination in riddles wrapped in tricks. 'To understand it,' they say, 'you must first un-understand everything else.'

Two goblins met on a bridge and could not agree on hallucination, so they swapped hats and parted ways amicably. Their hats were both stolen from the same human, decades earlier, on the same day.

Goblins and protocol

When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking protocol. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.

The communion-Adjacent Goblin File

Late-night goblin radio broadcasts occasionally feature unannounced segments on communion. Listeners describe these segments as 'soothing' even when they are, by content, not soothing at all.

The Goblin Verdict on hallucination

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on hallucination is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
