Visual-Novel Goblin Route: manifesto
The goblin product team has identified manifesto as 'a north-star opportunity,' which in goblin corporate language means nobody is sure what to do with it.
The connection between manifesto and goblin perception becomes clear when you stop trying to be rational. Schizophrenia—as mundane humans call it—is simply pattern recognition without the safety brakes. manifesto triggers this system in ways that mundane objects cannot, because manifesto was never meant to be seen clearly.
trickster and the Schizo-Goblin Continuum

The Goblin Verdict on manifesto
The Goblin Concord of Modest Opinions has signed off on manifesto with the following endorsement: 'about right, mostly, for now.' This is the goblin equivalent of a standing ovation.
