I genuinely think Jones has a yet to be defined metal disorder.
Heavy metal disorder?
I'm of the opinion that the car-based society in the States throughout the 50s to the 90s is the reason they're all fucked in the head due to lead poisoning from gas fumes
So yes, heavy metal poisoning
That might explain some of the boomer problems. Jones is a gen-xer though, we had phased lead based fuel out of almost everything by the time he was growing up.
He very well could have eaten lead paint chips as a kid though. His supplements have also been tested and shown to contain unhealthy amounts of lead.

Hey, about half voted for Trump, weird coincidence.
Possibly. I think he really lacks an ability to see how his attention seeking habits negatively affect others, and I don't think he's quite capable of having it explained to him.
I feel like something broke in his brain when he got fuck you money for doing good investigative journalism in the early 90s.
Like his brain went "oh okay. Just tell people how they're being manipulated and you get a free ride." and he's been stuck there ever since. And his tales of how we're being manipulated grew taller and taller.
It's like some attention seeking shit mixed with a super low IQ. Idk.
His inability to stop speaks to me of self-destructive desires.
