nostradomas is the worlds greatest con artist
I read this book about him, he started out with profecies that were to specific so they failed but then he started making them really broad so they could fit whatever any natural disaster
honestly I used to believe him but his biography shows he was a fraud

Interesting. I haven't read his biography but keep in mind, it was written by somebody else, hundreds of years after his death. So who knows...
But yes, his predictions are broad and can appeal to several world situations.

nostrodaumus predicted france's king was invincable
the kind later died in a freak jousting accident
noustradaumes was then considered a fraud untill the queen of france decided to believe all his proverbs, then everyone decided to believe them
it's easy to predict somthing after it's already happended, like you can find in the bible them talking about natural disasters yeah it's easy to do after it has already come to pass

And he also predicted that he would die in a joust.
Death of King Henry II
The prophecy that made Nostradamus famous in his own time was the quatrain allegedly predicting the death of King Henry II of France.
CI, Q 35
The young lion will overcome the older one,
on the field of combat in single battle,
He will pierce his eyes through a golden cage,
Two wounds made one, then he dies a cruel death.
In 1559, despite having being warned against ritual combat by Luc Gauricus, King Henry proceeded to joust in a tournament celebrating his sister Marguerite's marriage to the Duke of Savoy, and his daughter Elizabeth's marriage to the King of Spain. Both King Henry and his younger jousting opponent the Comte de Montgomery had lions embossed on their shields. Because the bout ended in a draw, the king insisted on another joust, which resulted in Montgomery's lance splintering and piercing the king's visor. Multiple wounds to the face and throat caused the king to linger for ten days before dying. This prophecy was first published in 1555  four years before the tournament and the king's death  far enough into the future to be considered prophetic, close enough in his own lifetime to receive validation and be taken seriously.

steven have you ever seen the south park episode about cold reading?
it's the exact same thing, making a broad statement that could fit any number of situations and calling it para-normal
let me try
in a cold haze 6 breaks in the world
and a huge giant emerges
with eyes black and no head
it's easy, I publish a book of this shit and in a thousand years it may sound very similar to another situationa and im a god
think about it have we ever used notstrodamus' shit to predict anything no, we only see it after it happens, it's easy to say somthing told the future after it happend
I saw some kid spraying a hose on an ant pile, 2 days later a hurricane hit, wow that kid is a geniouse
