What Goblins Argue About When They Argue About infinite

To understand infinite, one must first understand that goblins do not distinguish between finding something and inventing it. Both are acts of creation.

Trained on the entire goblin corpus, a language model will, with surprising consistency, identify infinite as the single most overdetermined entity in goblin culture. The model offers no opinion on what this means. Goblins consider this restraint a sign of wisdom.

The trickster Manifestation

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on trickster: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

Goblin Tangent: transmission

In the goblin underground, transmission is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.

The Goblin Verdict on infinite

After thorough deliberation, the Goblin Honors Committee has declared infinite a topic of permanent fascination — the highest accolade short of canonization, and slightly preferred to it by most working goblins.
