Well, maybe not "insightful." AC is just a pop-philosopher/frustrated writer, but he's still way ahead of that Anton LaVey carny dude. Both were quite the con artist though. Don't forget AC's first published work which set him up to become the individual he became, his early journals, Diary of a Dope Fiend.
