Famous philosopher and prophet Michel de Nostradame – a.k.a Nostradamus – made thousands of predictions for the future in his book Les Prophéties, released over 450 years ago.
The Frenchman who was born in 1503 wrote a series of 932 quatrains – four-line poems – in 1555, which contain thousands of prophecies for the future of humanity.
Nostradamus has been credited with predicting everything from the rise of Hitler to the shooting of JFK and the 9/11 attacks.
Whether you’re a believer or a sceptic, there’s no denying that there have been eerie correlations between his predictions and major historical events.
But what do his prophecies suggest is to come in 2022
In 2021 Nostradamus predicted a global famine, for 2022 however he has predicted inflation as the reason behind this starvation.
He warns of the rising prices in a failing economy: “No abbots, monks, no novices to learn;
“ Honey shall cost far more than candle-wax
“So high the price of wheat,
“That man is stirred
“His fellow man to eat in his despair
could 2022 finally be the year robots take over?
“The Moon in the full of night over the high mountain,
“The new sage with a lone brain sees it:
“By his disciples invited to be immortal,
“Eyes to the south. Hands in bosoms, bodies in the fire.”
Nostradamus' writings could be telling us the "new sage" of AI tech, who humans will have "invited to be immortal" will rise, and the entire episode will end with "bodies in the fire".
With the fear of an AI takeover, many experts have issued warnings about the implications of relying too much on technology, especially when it comes to robots.
Sounds more like Bidstradamus.
What word did Nostradamus use for robots?
The 1981 Orson Welles-narrated documentary, “The Man Who Saw Tomorrow”, became a bit of a big deal back then and was somewhat entertaining.
.... I am very impressed that Nostrodumass actually knew the term ... "Robots" ... 450 years ago ..... Either that or he didn't...
Hmm...it can’t just be a coincidence that they set the year for the “Soylent Green” flick as 2022.
Good idea. I noticed they brought home a copy of To Serve Man.
From your past posts I think you can work out ways to achieve peaceful coexistence. Always the diplomat.
Mr. Data, assume command of the ship.
Instead of some clever reply to Take Me To Your Leader maybe you could use a line I saw on a greeting card:
If I told you your navel was cute,
would you hold it against me?
I for one welcome our new robot overlords !
Dogs and cats, living together.
In a year holding a three, or seven,
or five, or nine, or maybe not,
Two things, might be people, or armies,
or buildings,
Or anything really, blades of grass,
or stoats, or crapulous charlatans
spouting mimsy,
Might do something nebulous.
Insert made-up-bit here.

You would if they are like the one’s in post 12.
To paraphrase Alvin the Chipmunk:
Hurry, Election Day!
Hurry fast!
We can hardly stand the wait,
Please, Election Day, don't be late!
What Nostradamus predicted for 2021
The arrival of zombies. This is probably the most far-fetched of Nostradamus’ predictions for 2021. ...
Famine and an outbreak of diseases. Nostradamus had a vision of many natural disasters with the appearance of new epidemics and great famines.
A Muslim invasion in Europe. ...
Solar storms. ...
A major earthquake in California. ...
A comet will collide with the Earth. ...
When I first learned of him many years ago, I was aghast at his prophecies- not so much now, I believe a lot matters in the interpretation of his quatrains. I can’t deny it is easy to interpret him to current events.
I guess we’ll see.
I thought it that it was Quasimodo who predicted this…
If the Nostradamus quatrain actually used the word “Robot”, I would be quite shocked... and quite impressed. The first use of the word robot was credited to a Czechoslovakian playwright and journalist named Karel Čapek in his popular play “Rossum’s Universal Robots” in 1920. There are no references to that word being used before then
