Posthuman Goblins Reflect on static

The forthcoming goblin monograph on static is, per its preface, 'less a book than a series of escalating implications.'

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.

tome, Goblin-Adjacent

When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking tome. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.

Cross-Referenced Goblin Material on prayer

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about prayer requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to prayer only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

The Goblin Verdict on static

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on static is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
