When the goblins finally tire of schizo, they say, the world as we know it will tire too, and rest. Until then we keep paying attention.

schizo is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. schizo is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.
