Can You Make Sense of This?

From today's Alex Jones Show, a two and a half minute rant about the internet being sentient, rings of power and palantirs ("seeing stones" from the Tolkien books), and more. There's half a reference to the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory wherein he interrupts himself and finishes the sentence with "squared to infinity!"

Download: http://www.sendspace.com/file/asw1jj And the "news" that he mentions toward the end, as he asserts that most of the time he knows what the news is going to be even before it breaks, is hardly news. It's the title of an article posted on Gizmodo.com in July 2010 -- Seven People Have Been Entrusted With the Keys to the Internet -- and these keys don't seem to resemble the "rings of power" supposedly given to Apple and Microsoft, et al. See more on that here and here and here.

But seriously, do YOU understand what Alex was trying to say? Was he rational? Was he simply making a uniquely flavored word salad?

I didn't listen to the clip yet, but based on what you described he is comparing the internet to a very very detailed version of a personality test that allows whoever is gazing into it almost magical abilities to see into your psyche (and the psyche of the masses) to the point of being able to predict how we will react to different situations.
