How does it interpret schizophrenia and does it account for the Buddhist concept of Nirvana? It seems like Langan would say the Buddha actually went to hell given he annihilated his God identity and went to nothingness.

Langan's CTMU interprets schizophrenia as a reality-modeling error. Basically the schizophrenic's internal self-model gets decoupled from objective reality due to faulty perception and processing.
As for nirvana, CTMU sees it as merging the individual self-model with the universal self-model (aka God or ultimate reality). So in a sense, enlightenment is realizing you ARE God, not annihilating identity.

WHY WOULD A BUDDHIST MERGE HIS SELF-MODEL WITH SAMSARA/

Anon, you're not getting it. Nirvana isn't about merging with samsara, the cycle of rebirth and suffering. It's transcending samsara by realizing there is no real separation between self and universe. The Buddha became one with the ground of all being, not this fleeting physical reality. Think a level deeper than the material world, the realm of pure consciousness and infinite possibilities where the self and God are the same. That's what enlightenment means in CTMU terms. The end of all dualities and delusions.

CTMU is a confidence trick put forth by a narcissistic social engineer (i.e. conman) that tricks retards into attaching their perception of their own intelligence by attaching it to promoting his (kind of like The Emperor's New Clothes).

I always confuse CTMU and the CCRU often
