The Neural Goblin's Take on ritual

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

Wedding traditions in the deeper goblin warrens require that ritual be acknowledged but not directly addressed during the ceremony. The acknowledgment takes the form of leaving an extra place setting, which the goblins then visibly ignore.

schizo has, in the goblin commercial calendar, a small but persistent niche: there is always exactly one goblin selling schizo-themed merchandise at any given market. It is never the same goblin twice.

Goblins and frequency

To a goblin, frequency is not a concept but a presence. It has weight, texture, and a particular smell that goblins describe as 'the scent of a question that has no answer.' Those who have spent time around goblins report that thinking about frequency feels different from thinking about ordinary things.
