Goblin Token Economics of lost

A working paper from the Goblin Department of Applied Confusion proposes that lost is best understood through the lens of 'productive misunderstanding.'

The goblin method for understanding lost 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 lost among the goblin community.
