The Simpsons and Nostradamus Predictions Explained
You know that recent news where a kid ended up in a gorilla’s enclosure and the zoo staff had to kill the gorilla for them to retrieve the kid? You’ve heard of it, right? You might even question if it’s a thing that parents do or is it a new trend for kids nowadays.
Speaking of trendy things, there’s a post going around the wonderful world of the internet on how The Simpsons “predicted” this incident. Not just that but people are also going crazy on how the cartoons “predicted” incidents and happenings in real life. You can see some of the prediction here.
As you can see from the post, there are many pictures cut out from the cartoon that “predicted” some things to happen. The following are my 2 cents about it.
These predictions, whether coming from cartoons or a philosopher (Yes Notstradamus, I’m looking at you) can be easily explained. If you have thousands of predictions whether that would be specific or general, at some point in time, there’s going to be at least one of those that will happen. Guaranteed.
There are thousands of scenes where The Simpsons played with a celebrity but when the scene didn’t happen in real life, no one batted an eye. No one.
The same goes for Nostradamus. He must have has thousands of predictions and there were only a hundred that had really happened. And again, no one seemed to care, when his predictions were wrong.
The basic logic behind such explanation is simply “throw some mud on the wall and see what sticks” The cartoon and the philosopher had a myriad of predictions and guaranteed that some of it would happen at some point in time.
Since I’m already talking about “predictions”, below are my set of jokingly and serious predictions for you and the many…
