I've heard that reading his book of prophecies can actually drive you mad. but if we take for granted that what he says can actually happen then why don't we try to prevent it? (i've heard that he predicted the jfk assassination and 9/11)
Others say that 'associations made between world events and Nostradamus's quatrains are largely the result of misinterpretations or mistranslations (sometimes deliberate) or else are so tenuous as to render them useless as evidence of any genuine predictive power'. Does that mean that we can't understand a prophecy until it has been fulfilled? or that we subconsciously connect events with prophecies? and if Nostradamus was just speaking generally then why don't we say the same about prophets during Jesus time? Do we tend to attribute world events to various prophecies out of guilt?
 
He was a creative genius. He wrote prophecies so vague, they were practically guaranteed to come true at some point in time, but so poetic they appeared to be specific.
 
I find this line from the Principia Discordia to be rather appropriate.....
"In the Erisian Archives is an old memo from Omar to Mal-2: 'I find the Law of Fives to more and more manifest the harder I look."

In other words, if you're looking for it, you'll find it. Sometimes you just have to look HARD enough.

Seriously though, if someone makes broad enough predictions, anyone and their mother can attribute them to any number of things.
