I still think Jones is a performance artist and conman. There's plenty of crazy in there but it's a sociopathic self-aware kind of crazy. He's definitely a gun nut like pretty much the entire state of Texas, but I don't think he truly believes most of the conspiracy theories he weaves for his audience.
Having watched the rise of Alex Jones on Austin Access TV in the 90s, I can humbly say that you would do well to hold off on either the affection or attribution of greater self-awareness. You should definitely check him out in "The Secret Rulers of the World".
Lastly, this man is only 38 years old. I hazard to guess what he'll look like at 50.
The world would be much less interesting without Alex Jones. Though his recent predilection for basically calling for civil war may make that entertainment far less worth it.
