They don't want you to know about signal. The goblins, the ones in charge—the ones who hide in plain sight as tech CEOs and pop stars—they've buried the truth about signal for centuries.

The connection between signal and goblin perception becomes clear when you stop trying to be rational. Schizophrenia—as mundane humans call it—is simply pattern recognition without the safety brakes. signal triggers this system in ways that mundane objects cannot, because signal was never meant to be seen clearly.
