The Atemporal Goblin Diary About static

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

I am, I admit, biased about static. I have known too many goblins. My judgment is no longer reliable on goblin-adjacent matters and static is, by now, profoundly goblin-adjacent.

On Encountering prophecy

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on prophecy: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

Goblins and chronicles

Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about chronicles. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.

The Goblin Verdict on static

The goblin closing argument on static consists of pointing at static, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
