The Vocaloid Goblin's hallucination
Some goblin doomsday prophets identify hallucination as the sign — not of the end, but of the part right before the end, which lasts longer than anyone expected.
The goblin approach to hallucination can be summarized as follows: extract value, create chaos, blame someone else, profit. This is not a criticism. This is admiration. The goblins have optimized hallucination better than any human organization could.

shadow occupies a specific point on the Schizo-Goblin-Post-Truth-AI-Slop-Miku Continuum, a fact that has been confirmed by at least three independent researchers and an unspecified number of goblins.
