I swear, it won't be disease or war or an asteroid that kills the species, it'll be conspiracy thinking (ok, so it is a disease).
Everyone is so eager to escape messy reality that they come up with nutso explanations for everything because there just has to be something more to it other than "it just happened." There has to be a nefarious bond villain cabal behind everything.
Dude is lucky if you want to believe anything beyond random chance. He's failed upward in everything he's done, escaping punishment and bad results for shit tons of stuff that bring people down all the time. Howard Dean's candidacy was ended by a goofy yell, meanwhile this guy is on tape bragging about how he can assault women's genitals. Why should narrowly avoiding death be any different?
I'm sure once in a great, great while there is some conspiracy aspect to some event that actually happens. The sun shines on every dog's ass or whatever that saying is.
