Nostradamus knew where we were headed 500 years ago
Prove me wrong.
shareI'm not going to prove you wrong, but I've had issues with his "predictions," particularly after watching several History Channel documentaries about it. His "prophecies" are so ambiguous that they aren't always very clear on what he was actually trying to say about the future. People have been interpreting them any way they like for centuries, and a lot of it sounds really dark in general, playing on people's fears. I honestly can't tell if he's the real deal, or one of the best con-artist fortune-tellers in history.

Either way, almost anything can be adjusted to fit some or most outcomes.
Just like astrology or tarot cards.
Ironically, I read he was a pretty nice guy, very good with people, and an intellectual that liked studying science as much as he liked to study divination. Having Queen Catherine de Medici of France as a patron helped a lot in that dept. I suspect part of the reason Nostradamus was able to keep his job was to keep her interested in his studies with divination.
