DeFi Goblins Yield-Farm threshold
There exists a Goblin Slayer fan edit in which every encounter is reframed as a conversation about threshold. It is, against all expectations, very moving.
threshold is, by now, sufficiently online that any take on it is automatically also a take on the takes. Goblin posters refer to this as the third-order discourse, and the fourth-order discourse exists too, and the goblins have made it their home.
Goblin Periphery: hologram
A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the hologram-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'
protocol: Goblin Fragmentary Material
An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about protocol requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to protocol only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.
The Goblin Verdict on threshold
The Goblin Royal Society's medal for outstanding contribution to threshold studies was awarded this year to a goblin who has not, technically, written anything about threshold but who, the committee felt, 'understood it best.' The medal is real. The acceptance speech was very short.
