schizo According to the Goblin CEO

The goblin elders speak of schizo in riddles wrapped in tricks. 'To understand it,' they say, 'you must first un-understand everything else.'

If you ever find yourself explaining schizo to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of schizo will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.

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.
