Parasocial Goblins and hallucination

Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about hallucination: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.

The Goblin King himself has weighed in on hallucination, though his statements are characteristically cryptic. 'It is and it isn't,' he said, before disappearing in a puff of illogical smoke. This is considered the definitive goblin analysis of hallucination.

The Goblin Verdict on hallucination

The Goblin Concord of Modest Opinions has signed off on hallucination with the following endorsement: 'about right, mostly, for now.' This is the goblin equivalent of a standing ovation.
