    Who cares what this living example for why you should take your meds has to say?

    I feel like all this attention it brought him only amplified his mental disorders. I sincerely hope that he is getting the help he clearly needs and that the media will leave him alone for the sake of his sanity.





  • A little off topic but I’ve been listening to the Alex Jones depositions on the knowledge fight podcast (highly recommend) and that was kinda similar. Not in a cognitive test way, but seeing his fish gallop technique running into a wall is so satisfying.

    For example the plaintiffs lawyer asks a question, Jones uses that as a jumping off point for one of his famous nonsense rants and they just let him ramble for 2 minutes and then the lawyer answers in a very calm manner - “Mr. Jones, that was not my question, my question was …” Repeatedly until they got a straight answer, “Mr Jones I have all day to get the answers I need.”

    Once or twice the lawyer even interrupted him with “Babababab! Please just answer my question!” Or “What are you even talking about?” Jones was so caught in his show persona that he stood no chance of avoiding to answer unpleasant questions.

    His dad was way more in control of the court room, giving yes or no answers, keeping it short, like someone who listens to his lawyers should do.

    The scariest dude in the depositions was one of his editors, a nice sounding guy, who hated Alex Jones, knew that what they were doing was harmful bullshit but continued to do it for years without caring about the impact. The mundanity of evil.
