You must have heard at least once in your life, supposed predictions that came true through the cartoon Simpsons. This one accompanied by a good humor in its episodes, has left people very confused and with some curiosity about the project initially developed by the cartoonist Matt Groening. Was he some kind of psychic? or is it just a coincidence of fate?

That the animation cartoons the simpsons has been a success all over the world, this is indisputable, but what has called the attention of fans of the cartoon and critics in general, is related to the supposed predictions that were realized. correct predictions:

  • Virus of Asian origin, which would spread to the rest of the world. (covid-19)
    -Donald Trump as President of the USA.
    -Ebola virus in West Africa.
    -Nobel of economics 2016, in which Bengt Holmström took the award.
    Between others...

Given the facts narrated here, do you believe that this is nothing more than a conspiracy theory? Did the creators receive some sort of telepathic insight into the various topics they've been successful in? or was it all a coincidence?

However, given the context presented above, I come to a personal conclusion, that this is just guesses, yes, despite the percentage of correct answers being small, sooner or later some will work, even if some are complex "predictions" ,will generate doubts that this can be beyond "kicks", but if it is not random thoughts of the creators what would they be then? some time machine at their disposal? -I believe that we humans still do not have this technological apparatus in our favor for now. Even reaching this conclusion, I admit that this intrigues me a lot. In a world full of mysteries, this is just a drop of water in the middle of a huge ocean.

It is up to each one to conclude what they think is best about the subject, since there is no concrete truth about these subjects, they are all relative assumptions.
