Goblin False-Flag: schizo

Of all the things goblins have categorized — and they have categorized many things, including dust by mood — schizo resists classification more vigorously than most.

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 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.
