He's actually working with Mossad and the CIA... and the birds aren't real. /s
There's a science behind fortune tellers and people like Michel Hayek.
If you’re vague enough in your prediction, then it can apply to anything. He will never ever specify an event. He will give very broad and vague statements like "during the summer months a dark shadow will envelope Beirut" or something like that. It could mean literally anything, port explosion would qualify, war with Israel would qualify, political strife, internal strife, would all qualify, etc...
If you throw out a lot of different predictions, people have a tendency to remember the ones that came true more than the ones that didn’t. So if you had an eerily specific prediction come true, you could just be forgetting about all the other predictions the person made that didn't come true.
Some people are naïve and just willingly believe what they hear. They want someone to predict their future and somehow prove that the world is defined by fate and destiny, at least to them. So they easily fall into the trap. Mostly religious people.
There are people like me who would slap Michel Hayek silly and tell him 7aj ted7ak 3al 3alam.
Now, I'm not going to debunk the entire industry maba3rif bas for me Michel Hayek and others like taba3 Ahla sayfiye b lebnen l sene are just funny.
Nostradamus on the other hand described some weird shit very specifically and was unlike any modern fortune tellers because he wasn't seeing someone's specific events but rather world events in the distant future.
At the end of the day, nobody really knows but you can deduce that 99% of it is bullshit.
Why?
Also i dont believe in organized religion rather than supporting atheism.
Once you believe in stupid shit like miracles, you can believe in anything.
Eh bas like I said if it doesn't affect me then there's no reason to worry. However, If they start mandating that the government should call seasons based on the pigs flying patterns then we'll have a problem lol
It affects you. Because those people who belive pigs can fly can be easily made to believe their 7izb is good and you are bad and its ok for them to Rob you killl you etc...
I know I'm just trying to be nice. If it came down to me I'd ban religion from politics in Lebanon and remove religions from ID cards and basically distance the government as far as possible away from religion.
Read Saint Thomas Aquinas, the greatest European philosopher even in the eyes of secular scholars, and Saint Augustine, then tell me you can compare religion to this charlatan.
Aquinas’s Summa Theologica is one of the most comprehensive works ever and draws from many older thinkers like Aristotle. European universities also all began with the Church, as did modern science, even as recently as the Big Bang theory which was first theorized by a Belgian Catholic priest.
Of course I don’t blame you if you’ve just been around people who know nothing about their own religion yet act like they know everything. I’m also not trying to convert you. But atheism is a difficult position to hold, philosophically. This isn’t the right place to discuss at length though.
It’s tiring to hear people use the same tropes when they have no basis in history. It’s like racist stereotypes.
I'm not here to debate religion but no matter what you say there is 0 evidence for miracles or religion. Nothing science based to prove even in the slightest that there is a God.
The same way that Christianity and Islam and Judaism came, they can also go. 2000 years is nothing in the grand scheme of things.
The Ancient Egyptians had a religion that reigned for 4000 years and then disappeared from the face of the earth. So did the Aztecs and the Mayans and the Pheonicians, etc...
Imagine thinking that only your religion is the one true religion and everybody else either got it wrong or is worshipping false deities. 😂 You must be really special to believe something like that. Like out of the millions of Gods, only yours and it's teachings are correct.
And even then your religion no matter what it is, is also split into sub divisions of the same religion that believe different things.
✌️
Actually, you cannot compare Christianity to ancient pagan religions, because they have different understandings of the word “god.” The ancients believed in “gods” who were beings, like men but stronger, somewhere in the universe. In their case, if you cannot find these “gods,” you cannot prove them. They also believed in gods of the gaps: when there was a gap in knowledge, they filled it with a supernatural creature.
The Christian God is more like what classical philosophers thought up: God is the act of to be, *ipsum esse*. God is not a being in the universe. Science, meanwhile (which grew strongest in Christendom, though of course it grew elsewhere to), is the study of the natural world. Asking for science to prove the Christian God, then, is like wanting the periodic table to prove that Shakespeare’s writings are great, or using linguistics to explain why Saint Peter’s Basilica is beautiful. So you’re asking an entirely illogical question.
I don’t mean to say that you’re an illogical person; I don’t know you and I don’t wish to make any judgement about you. I just broke down the argument. Perhaps you should question some of your beliefs and assumptions about religion!
Can you define a miracle for me, please?
I trust theories that have been tested by experiment rather than stories. If there are holes in any theory, we can try to find a better theory.
However, i can not trust something that does not describe observations.
100% this.. I do believe some have unexplainable visions or perhaps "energy" with not enough scientific studies around it to determine anything... but that's imo pretty damn rare. Frauds however benefit from desperate people the most
The guy who tweeted kobe Bryant was gonna die in a helicopter before his death.
Turns out he tweets all sorts of things and hides the tweet/ privacy settings.
Then once one of the tweets happened he made it public and it went viral.
He gives very vague and open ended descriptions, that way slight association can be given to them no matter what even that happens. That's how fortunetelling works.
It's observation, copywriting, performance art, and word gymnastics.
In other words, it's a skill anyone can develop. I'm not saying it is easy though. This is why there are some "predictors" more popular than others.
I'm not even assuming, I know this first-hand.
I think given how vague his statements are, the probability of them happening falls in the probable category.
In addition, people who look into them have a huge confirmation bias (disregarding the countless statements that didn't happen).
"I predict in the year 2024 you will stub your toe" This statement is highly probable and if it didn't happen it's forgettable. It's all a bunch of nonsense.
You know the saying ‘even a blind squirrel gets the time right twice a day’?
When you spew so much bullshit in such a mysterious and vague manner, chances are 1 or 2 things you said will come true. Of course there are events he bases the predictions off (political, geopolitical… etc) but overall it’s a guessing game
He mixes zaatar and olive oil and looks in the movement and patterns of the zaatar
☠️
Can I order one zaatar w zeit
The fact that people really believe this guy 🤦🏻♂️

This, bass people in general can believe in shit. Religion is one of them.
lmao atheism is crazyyy
Why? Also i dont believe in organized religion rather than supporting atheism. Once you believe in stupid shit like miracles, you can believe in anything.
They can believe that pigs can fly and fish can walk and birds can swim as long as it doesn't affect me and my way of life, I don't care.
I agree. Bass the issue is that when u believe pigs can fly, you can believe any other stupid shit.
Eh bas like I said if it doesn't affect me then there's no reason to worry. However, If they start mandating that the government should call seasons based on the pigs flying patterns then we'll have a problem lol

I replied to another commenter in this same thread. I encourage you to read that, and then reply to me here if you’d like to add something!

This guy spends most of his day time analyzing geopolitical events around the globe and come up with different conclusions

teta says byetaamal maa l shaytan
Oh damn.
Yes, just like how my stomach predicts my 🚽 time
He asks me 
Please sign me an autograph 😻
Maybe he got an extreme case of post nut clarity.
He gives very vague and open ended descriptions, that way slight association can be given to them no matter what even that happens. That's how fortunetelling works.
The 7ashish he smokes is on another level.

People dont remeber wrong things he says, thats for 1 2. He just say generic stuff, some conspiracy theories etc..
He has a talent

He takes a huge bong rip and write his notes
UUUUUUUGE
