Peter Limberger:

 < in 20 25, everyone is a conspiracy theorist >

"In the X-Files serie, “ Mulder was the believer; Scully, the skeptic. Or rather, he was the “conspiracy theorist,” and she was the “coincidence theorist,” a term used to describe someone who rejects any conspiratorial thinking, views strange patterns as coincidences, and places blind trust in expert explanations.

In the series, Mulder wins out and turns out to be more right than Scully. You could say that, given the prevalence of conspiracy theories today, the conspiracy theorists have now won out over the coincidence theorists.

This was not always the case. The coincidence theorists were once dominant, especially during the COVID moment, when anyone who disagreed with governmental response measures or the experts who supported them was labeled a conspiracy theorist and subsequently censored.
Now, in 2025, everyone is a conspiracy theorist.”
