Selects: Nostradamus: Predictor of the future? Not so much.

In this episode, Josh and Chuck explore the real history behind Nostradamus and separate fact from legend, examining how a 16th-century French physician and astrologer became the world's most famous predictor of the future. They dive into his actual biography, his famous book of cryptic quatrains called the Centuries, and most importantly, they thoroughly debunk many of his supposed predictions by revealing how vague language, mistranslations, and creative interpretation allow people to retroactively claim he predicted everything from Hitler's rise to 9/11. The guys also unpack why people are so willing to believe in Nostradamus despite zero evidence he ever predicted anything accurately before it happened, and they even reveal how a college student fooled the internet by creating a fake Nostradamus prediction about 9/11 that went viral.
