I've been re-watching The X Files, the adventures of FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. It's still very enjoyable, although I have to admit that ‘90s television writing wasn’t very good. They got away with far worse than the criticism we use today to pariah shows.

This trip down memory lane reminded me of how much I used to enjoy conspiracy theories. Reptiles running the Illuminati? Ancient aliens building pyramids? Atlantis sinking beneath the waves? UFOs in the Bermuda Triangle? Stanley Kubrick faking the moon landing footage? I never believed any of these claims, but they fed my imagination.
