Celebrity does not guarantee wisdom. But if you can stomach an interview by the conspiracy-obsessed radio host Alex Jones, you may enjoy hearing the scattershot political comprehension of British comedian Russell Brand.

With more than 125 articles published at The Guardian and numerous memorable media confrontations, the always entertaining Brand has proven himself eloquent, socially aware and adept at embarrassing elites.

Brand’s absurd description of the source of humanity’s best prospects for salvation is an apt example of the corporate media-shaped chaos of understanding moving around inside many people’s heads.
