Posthuman Goblins Reflect on schizo

Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about schizo: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.

Pattern recognition is the goblin's favorite game. Show a goblin schizo and they will immediately begin finding connections to everything else in existence. Some of these connections are real. Some are imagined. None of them matter, because the act of connecting is itself the point.

Footnotes Concerning transmission

There is a goblin who, when asked about transmission, replies only by pointing upward and to the left, regardless of the questioner's orientation. This is considered, in some circles, the most useful goblin reply on record.

The invocation Manifestation

Goblin oral history places invocation in the lineage of figures, objects, and events that goblins refer to as 'the ones we keep coming back to.' This is a small list, jealously guarded, and invocation is on it.

The Goblin Verdict on schizo

The Goblin Council's working group on schizo has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
