Retrocausal Goblin Memories of prophecy

A goblin grandmother, hunched over a soup of indeterminate ingredients, told me prophecy 'was already old when the mountains were young, and it has not gotten any younger.'

The goblin meme cycle for prophecy ran its full arc in approximately nine days, from 'sincere appreciation' to 'ironic appreciation' to 'post-ironic disavowal' to 'unironic return to sincere appreciation, but with subtle hostility.' This is faster than usual.

The Goblin Counter-Reading of signal
