On a very basic level, Nick knows that Alex is dumb, and he's only helpful to the cause so much, and he's served most of the purpose that he can now.

It's really bizarre. He does not have comprehension skills, like really basic comprehension skills.

Alex doesn't understand what this statistic captures, so he's up on this show pretending that most people died at 30 when Brave New World was written. It's all ludicrous. He just doesn't even understand the topics, the very basic topics that he's talking about.

So I've been working on a theory for a little while, and that is that Alex doesn't know Bolsonaro's name. Okay. Or at least has completely forgotten it.

It's reading comprehension and basic reasoning. That's all it is. And Alex lacks those things.
