Being cynical about everything is intellectual laziness. It feels like you are being smart and critical but blindly rejecting and doubting everything is no different from blindly accepting or believing everything. Instead of observing each new idea and evaluating it on its merits, you've already determined what your response will be. It's a biased filter on everything you see. We should aim to be openminded but also willing to reject things that don't make sense (looking at you, NFT bros)
