Nostradamus Predicted Heavens Fire & Plague this year, without AI.

There are easy predictions and difficult predictions.  Both accuracy and specificity can be measured and observed in hindsight – if you are still around to observe…

French astrologer, author and physician who is best known for his book Les Prophéties in 1555, Nostradamus was the OG of predictions.  He’s been credited with predicting the rise of Hitler, the Death of Henry II, The Great London Fire of 1666, and the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Interestingly, Nostradamus also kinda predicted the chaos of 2020, predicting great trouble for humanity in that year. That leads to his prediction for 2021: “Rain, blood, milk, famine, steel, and plague, Is the heavens fire seen, a long spark running.”

Wowza – that sounds pretty terrible, and “blood rain” sounds like it could further impact the inventory shortage – but on the positive side, could that end the drought? 

Glad we keep exploring Mars, it’s time to move to another planet.

“His predictions relied heavily on historical and literary precedent.”   (Sourced From Wikipedia)  “Academics argue that Nostradamus’s predictions are characteristically vague, meaning they could be applied to virtually anything, and are useless for determining whether their author had any real prophetic powers. They also point out that English translations of his quatrains are almost always of extremely poor quality, based on later manuscripts, produced by authors with little knowledge of sixteenth-century French, and often deliberately mistranslated to make the prophecies fit whatever events the translator believed they were supposed to have predicted.”

Im guessing if he had the power of even a little AI, he would have tightened up his specificity.

Accurate predictions can be boiled down to math. Our predictions at Revaluate are only looking ahead six months to predict who moves – so we pale in comparison to history’s most famous predictor.

Inside knowledge, experience and insight can be leveraged to make predictions at a higher rate of accuracy. 

It’s relatively easy to predict how many people will move in a given year, but it’s more difficult to predict specifically WHO will move and when.  More difficult yet, would be to predict where they will move.

At Revaluate we’ve had our results tested in this third party white paper and we continue to fine tune and improve our ability to predict seller leads.
