In the recent months, I have been really calm about 2012. I have been able to confidently debunk claims made by other kids at my school. I was able to laugh off YouTube videos about the doomsday. But today, I came across a post on this forum, saying that Nostradamus had predicted PSY's Gangnam style and linked it to 2012. The thing is, I know the claim is bogus, but for some reason i can't get over my faer of this new claim. So, I looked this predicition up, and sure enough many results from articles to videos came up. The meme about this prediciton really scared me, because Everything was perfectly predicted. Can someone please debunk this? Sorry for my spelling, I typed this on my phone.
It's made up. No such prediction from Nostradamus exists. There's at least one other recent thread about this.
First of all it says he said that in 1503, but Nostradamus was born in 1503..so uh..yeah..doubt his first words had anything to do with a dancing Korean man. Furthermore, I searched for that supposed "prophecy" and found no such thing.
A lie can travel half way around the world before the truth can get its boots on.
LOL That just made the claim look really stupid. I had no idea he was actually born in 1503. Had a good laugh about this one.
It's quite extraordinary the way in which people try to give credence to the crank that was Nostradamus. I can understand this irrational thinking to a certain extent, but lets really think about this. You are worried because people are saying that a few hundred years ago, a man saw into the future, predicted that the world would end, and his "sign" would be the appearance of a South Korean guy who danced like a horse and gets 1,000,000,000 hits on YouTube. Now, read and re-read what I just said. Do you honestly think that has a chance of being the case? Forget your fears and anxiety for just a moment, be rational and think. Are you honestly going to drive yourself into the pits of despair over something that is, frankly, embarrassing?
Not embarrassing for you, as I said I understand irrational fear, but embarrassing for the reptiles who are actually using this to strengthen their stance. What the fu#k are they talking about? This is kids stuff, really it is. We are in December, this was supposed to be it, the big killer planet was supposed to be in the sky, the sun was supposed to be blasting us with solar flares, the world was supposed to be in chaos. What do we have instead? Gangnam style. Yes, that's it. This is the depths they have sank to, this is scraping a barrel that was already desolate.
Try and see this for what it is. It's absolute desperation and a last ditch attempt to add any credence to this doomsday idea. It is sad. It is embarrassing for those who use it. Laugh at them and thank whoever you believe in that you're not so sad as to be one of these people. Get on with your life.
The great thing about science is, it's true whether you believe in it or not.
Yea, I did actually think about it and realized how stupid it actually was. When I figured out that he was born in 1503, when he supposedly made the prediction, I knew it was complete BS.

I hope you weren't wigging out over this right?? This it is folks, this is Nostradamus' contribution to 2012, a dancing Korean :)
Would look good on a t-shirt: Nostradamus promised disasters and destruction of our world, and what do we get? GANGNAM STYLE!
(ok end of joke)
Seriously, I'm getting tired of the "end of the world excuses", I'm getting not only annoyed by them but I'm super angry that people are saying it's the end of the world when it isn't. People need to shut the f**k up and get on with their lives, and that's their problem, they HAVE no lives and they want the world to end to escape the real world. Life may suck, but simply, people need to get over it.
I'm sorry, but Nostradamus predicting Gangnam Style has to be hands-down the most hilarious thing I've ever heard.
Here's an exercise: Pick any major event that's happened recently. Then, read through the prophecies of Nostradamus until you see something that fits, even metaphorically. Bam! You're a prophet! You see the problem here? It's called Selection Bias. Cherry picking results that fit your own conclusion.
Good point Dextrose :).
To come to think of it, this is nothing but funny to me :D.
