Bill Hicks is one of many enlightened humans I actively learn from and follow as an example,others being George Carlin,Doug Stanhope,Terence McKenna,Alan Watts,Jiddu Krishtnamurti,Carl Jung and wise Osho.
About Alex Jones,you f**king nailed it! He knows a lot,but a lot he knows is poisoned by his right-wing perspective(something which can be said for many IMGFlippers,especially Grind and Natalie_vance)
What Alex Jones is to you would to me be Varg Vikernes AKA Count Grishnackh AKA Louis Cachet,a Norwesian ex-Black Metal musician(Burzum) who is now a pagan who considers that the collapse of civilization is near,that it will happen when all of oil is consumed,and the only way to survive the collapse is to start living a simple life in Nature,and to return to your race's religion,culture and tradition(Slavic for Slavs,Nordic for Nords,Hindu for Indians,Native American for Native American etc),and to give zero tolerance to Abrahamic religions.A lot of these I consider to be great ideas(especially returning to Nature),but my problem with him arises with his idea that everything revolves around Europeans,like they're the center of the world,as well as his denial to the numerous pros and usefulnesses of psychedelics(LSD,magic mushrooms,mescaline,DMT,ayahuasca).Everything else,he's on point.
Like you did with Alex,I learned a LOT from Varg,but now,I don't need him anymore. If you're curious or interested about him,his YouYube channel is called ThuleanPerspectivd
