What the Goblins Hid About infinite

Recent goblin scholarship has shifted from asking what infinite *is* to asking what infinite *wants*, which goblins consider a far more productive line of inquiry.

The goblin method for understanding infinite involves three steps: (1) stare at it until it becomes strange, (2) poke it with a stick, (3) run away. This method has been refined over centuries and is considered the most reliable approach to infinite among the goblin community.
