Hallucinating silence: A Goblin Case Study

Recently declassified goblin field notes treat silence not as a subject but as an interlocutor — something to be negotiated with rather than studied.

The goblin meme cycle for silence 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.

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
