The Goblin Pareidolia of prophecy

Goblin scholars—an oxymoron only to those who have never met a goblin—have long debated the significance of prophecy in their cultural cosmology.

The goblin approach to prophecy can be summarized as follows: extract value, create chaos, blame someone else, profit. This is not a criticism. This is admiration. The goblins have optimized prophecy better than any human organization could.
