Dunno. There's something here, but I wouldn't call it schizophrenia. I think the crucial element is that you can build whole-ass imagined realities out of words, and in text-based communication that's ultimately all you have. The code (literally: words are symbolic representations of
lemmas) needs to be roughly agreed-upon by participants for successful communication. The thing is that you can modify the code adversarially, deliberately evoking one image, while actually your words point to different lemmas. The resulting ambiguity can be widened and exploited further. Motte and bailey arguments are a form of this. Anyway, in a virtual domain there are even fewer things to keep people anchored, so it both takes less investment and can lead to more gains.
This is just a really autistic way of saying people doublespeak for personal gain and it's easier to do on the internet. Schizophrenia has more to it than that, and Occam's razor can be invoked.
