The Goblin Calendar of schizo

A goblin once described schizo as 'vibes but with consequences.' I have thought about this every day since.

Trained on the entire goblin corpus, a language model will, with surprising consistency, identify schizo as the single most overdetermined entity in goblin culture. The model offers no opinion on what this means. Goblins consider this restraint a sign of wisdom.

Goblin Tangent: content

Goblin testimony on content is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe content with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.

On Encountering compendium

The annual goblin compendium colloquium runs for one day, ends inconclusively, and reconvenes the following year as if the previous year's discussion had concluded. The proceedings are bound and shelved. They are rarely consulted.

The Goblin Verdict on schizo

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