Hello already welcome back to another episode of Decoding the Unknown.

I as always am your host Simon. I'm still one of my rights to this case Kevin. Thanks Kevin

and has written me a script. Nostradamus, did he actually predict anything? I mean I feel like

anyone who watches this show or listens to this show regularly will know that my

you probably think my media will be like no absolutely not what nonsense and it's like yeah

of course not of course it's nonsense but also I feel like Nostradama's probably predicted a lot and it's nonsense. But also I feel like Nostradam has probably predicted a lot and it's like you know

the more you predict the more likely you are for something to be right like if I just sat down and

came up with like a thousand predictions for the future today.

Some of them are going to come true.

And then in ten years people can't look back and just cherry-pick the ones that I got right,

which I feel is exactly what I was in Ostradamus.

But look obviously precognition and telling the future is

obviously nonsense. So thanks for watching. Well that was quick. No, let's go.

Thanks Kevin.

I've heard a lot about many predictions of Nostradamus throughout my life.

He wrote thousands of prophecies which people continue to pour over.

And one of my grandfathers was even a big believer of Nostradamus.

Because of all this, I like most people believe that Nostradamus spent his entire life working as his

Charlottin.

Respect, Granddad!

But he was never portrayed as some sort of starving artist like many others often are, so I always assumed that he was born independently wealthy and just fritted his life away as a seer. It turns out that I could not have been more wrong and I was shocked to discover that while researching Nostradamus, that he had a regular 9-5 job which he was quite good at and it wasn't until his retirement

that he began spouting nonsense.
