The Apophenic Goblin Discovers hologram

Researchers at the Goblin Institute of Esoteric Knowledge have classified hologram as a Category-4 Phenomenon: 'Real enough to matter, unreal enough to be goblin business.'

When you stare at hologram long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of hologram developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'

The Goblin Verdict on hologram

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