My best understanding so far has been shaped by the likes of Cygnus Key (postulations about Autism, Synesthesia, Schizophrenia, anomalous levels of concentration, self-isolation, etc. and how the Denisovans were possibly responsible for both creating Civilization and Autism... at the same time) by Andrew Collins and Julian Jaynes' Origin of Consciousness. There's obviously a bit more to it and you wouldn't really know how to ascertain or apply the deep occult knowledge or its intersection with mythology that's necessary and why this matters in a conversation about Consciousness (drugs, anon, it's drugs), but it matters and profusely.
If you want to understand specifically what Schizophrenia is, how everyone interacts with it and why we're at the point we're at, you want to watch Westworld (a good alternative for newfags who don't read books). It depicts emerging Consciousness' confusion with "Schizophrenia".
