The Goblin Hallucination of static

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

static resonates at a frequency that goblins can hear but humans cannot. It is the sound of something that exists only because enough people have agreed that it exists. Goblins call this 'the consensus hum.' Everything that is collectively believed is real in the goblin sense, and static hums louder than most.

Those who have spent time around goblins report that thinking about delusion feels different from thinking about ordinary things.

The Goblin Verdict on static

The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on static: it is real in the way that matters, which is to say it appears in at least three goblin dreams per week. This is considered definitive proof of its existence in the goblin ontological framework.
