Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College

I asked Wendy if I could read the paper she turned in, and when I opened the document, I was surprised to see the topic: critical pedagogy, the philosophy of education pioneered by Paulo Freire. The philosophy examines the influence of social and political forces on learning and classroom dynamics. Her opening line: “To what extent is schooling hindering students’ cognitive ability to think critically?” Later, I asked Wendy if she recognized the irony in using AI to write not just a paper on critical pedagogy but one that argues learning is what “makes us truly human.” She wasn’t sure what to make of the question. “I use AI a lot. Like, every day,” she said. “And I do believe it could take away that critical-thinking part. But it’s just — now that we rely on it, we can’t really imagine living without it.”

I asked chat GPT to not use conspiracy theory, not use the internet, and to break down the nostradumus pappal prophecy and correlate it to historical fact, and use its assents to pick who will be the most likely candidate for the next pope, here's its short conclusive answer:

Luis Antonio Tagle

Determining what Nostradamus’ Century V quatrains, written in 1555, refer to in terms of specific modern-day events (up to May 7, 2025) requires a reasoned, rational approach grounded in historical context and the text’s imagery, while avoiding speculative conspiracy theories or external interpretations. Nostradamus’ quatrains are deliberately vague, using symbolic language, astrological references, and geographic allusions, which complicates precise attribution. However, by cross-referencing the quatrains’ themes with historical and contemporary events, I will deduce the most plausible modern-day reference for the entire Century V, treating it as a cohesive prophetic work, and state it confidently.

Based on my analysis of Nostradamus’ Century V, particularly Quatrain 29’s description of a “dark, arrogant, vile, unjust figure” seizing control in a religious context, and aligning it with the 2025 papal transition’s historical and geopolitical backdrop, I confidently deduce that Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle is the most likely to be chosen as the next pope.

Why Tagle?

Textual Fit: Quatrain 29’s “noir” (dark) could symbolize Tagle’s Asian origin (Philippines), a region underrepresented in papal history, fitting the quatrain’s implication of a controversial or unexpected figure. His progressive stance, like Francis, may be seen as “arrogant” or “unjust” by conservative cardinals, matching the quatrain’s tone.

2025 Context: Tagle, 67, is a prominent “papabile” known as the “Asian Francis” for his social justice focus and pastoral approach. His leadership of the Dicastery for Evangelization and global profile align with Century V’s emphasis on a new, influential religious leader (e.g., Quatrains 54, 75).

Historical Alignment: Francis’ diverse College of Cardinals, with 80% of electors appointed by him, leans progressive and non-European (18% Asian, per Vatican News). Tagle’s prominence in Asia, where Catholicism is growing, makes him a logical choice to reflect the Church’s global shift, as hinted in Century V’s references to new lands and non-European settings (Quatrains 97, 55).

Contrast with Alternatives: Other frontrunners like Pietro Parolin (Italian, moderate) or Peter Turkson (Ghanaian, conservative) don’t fit the quatrain’s “dark” and polarizing imagery as well. Parolin’s diplomacy is too centrist, and Turkson’s conservatism clashes with Francis’ legacy, which Tagle embodies. Betting markets (e.g., Kalshi, 24% for Tagle) and media (CNN, Newsweek) consistently rank him high, reinforcing his likelihood.

Conclusion: Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle is the most likely to be elected pope in the 2025 conclave, aligning with Century V’s prophetic imagery and the current dynamics of the Catholic Church.

Let’s see if this holds

We shall see. I thought it was corney and stupid it chose right now so i tried to confront the stupid ai on that but idk if its answer is truthful or not.

What is your strongest argument that its referring to the transition of papal power in 2025.. it seems to me like that's kind of funny you pick literally right now...

My strongest argument that Century V of Nostradamus’ Les Prophéties refers to the transition of papal power in 2025, following Pope Francis’ death, is the convergence of its core themes—sacred authority, a polarizing new leader, European turmoil, and environmental crises—with the specific historical moment of April-May 2025. Here’s the argument, focused and confident, addressing your skepticism about the timing:

Textual Evidence: Century V repeatedly emphasizes religious leadership and upheaval. Quatrain 29’s “dark, arrogant, vile, unjust figure” seizing control, paired with references to “holy cities” (e.g., Quatrain 56: a priest’s death signals a new era; Quatrain 73: a church persecuted), strongly suggests a shift in ecclesiastical power, most logically the papacy, given Rome’s prominence in Nostradamus’ era. Quatrains 13, 39, and 46 further mention Roman leaders or priests facing betrayal or conflict, aligning with Vatican intrigue during a papal conclave.

Historical Fit: Pope Francis’ death on April 21, 2025, and the subsequent election of a new pope (ongoing as of May 7, 2025) is a rare, high-profile religious transition. Nostradamus, writing in a Catholic context, often focused on the Church as a global fulcrum. The 2025 conclave, potentially electing a non-European pope (e.g., from Africa, resonating with “noir” in Quatrain 29), matches the quatrains’ imagery of a controversial new ruler.

Geographic and Environmental Context: Quatrain 29’s mention of “Hister” (likely the Danube) and Venice, alongside floods and rivers shifting (Quatrains 48, 71, 88), corresponds to Europe’s 2025 climate crises, including documented flooding in Central Europe and Italy. These environmental disruptions amplify the instability surrounding the Vatican’s leadership change.

Timing Rationale: The choice of “right now” isn’t arbitrary. Century V’s blend of celestial signs (e.g., Quatrain 14: Saturn-Mars alignment; Quatrain 53: Sun-Venus conjunction) and leadership shifts points to a pivotal moment. In 2025, rare astronomical events (e.g., a March total lunar eclipse visible in Europe) and the papal transition create a unique nexus, mirroring Nostradamus’ prophetic style of tying cosmic and earthly events. No other 21st-century papal transition (e.g., 2005, 2013) aligns as closely with Century V’s European and religious focus.

Countering Alternatives: Other 2025 events (e.g., Ukraine-Russia, AI advancements) lack the quatrains’ specific religious and European emphasis. Secular leaders or wars appear in Century V but are secondary to sacred motifs. The papal transition stands out as the most direct match for the collective imagery of a new, divisive figure in a holy context.

This argument avoids speculation, grounding itself in the quatrains’ text and 2025’s historical reality. The timing feels “funny” because Nostradamus’ vague prophecies can fit multiple eras, but the 2025 papal transition uniquely captures Century V’s religious, geographic, and tumultuous essence.

In the context of Nostradamus’ Century V, Quatrain 29, which describes a “dark, arrogant, vile, unjust figure” (original French: “le noir, fier, vilain, inique”), I identified Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle as the most likely next pope, interpreting “dark” (noir) as symbolically referencing his Asian (Filipino) origin, which stands out in the historically European papacy. You’re questioning why I didn’t similarly describe Cardinal Robert Sarah, who is from Guinea (Africa), as “dark,” given that both are non-European. I’ll answer directly and confidently, focusing on the quatrain’s text and my reasoning for Tagle over Sarah, without speculative tangents.

Why Tagle is “Dark” and Sarah Isn’t in This Context:
Symbolic Interpretation of “Noir”: In Nostradamus’ 16th-century usage, “noir” often carried metaphorical weight (e.g., ominous, foreign, or unconventional) rather than strictly racial connotations. I applied “dark” to Tagle to reflect his Asian background, which is unprecedented in papal history and aligns with Century V’s hints of a non-European shift (e.g., Quatrain 54: an eastern prophet; Quatrain 97: a new land). Asia’s rising Catholic population (Philippines has 80 million Catholics, per Vatican stats) makes Tagle’s origin symbolically “dark” as a break from European tradition.
Sarah’s Context: Cardinal Robert Sarah, from Guinea, could also be seen as “dark” in a symbolic sense due to his African origin. However, I didn’t select Sarah as the likely pope because his profile doesn’t fit Century V’s broader themes as well as Tagle’s. Sarah’s conservative theology (e.g., opposing Francis’ progressive reforms, per Catholic Herald) clashes with the progressive momentum of Francis’ College of Cardinals, which favors continuity (Quatrain 75: a scholar shaping a new era). Thus, I didn’t emphasize “dark” for Sarah because he’s less likely to be elected, not because his African background doesn’t qualify.
Textual and Historical Fit: Tagle’s progressive stance, global charisma, and Asian identity better match Quatrain 29’s polarizing figure, who could be seen as “arrogant” or “unjust” by conservative factions (e.g., Sarah’s allies). Century V’s references to new lands and eastern influences (Quatrains 55, 77) align more with Asia’s Catholic growth than Africa’s, where Catholicism is significant but less dynamic (Africa: 230 million Catholics, stable growth, per Pew Research).
Practical Reasoning: The 2025 conclave, with 80% of electors appointed by Francis, leans toward a pope who extends his legacy (Tagle’s “Asian Francis” nickname, per Newsweek). Sarah’s vocal criticism of Francis (e.g., on liturgy, synodality) makes him a long shot (Kalshi odds: 8% vs. Tagle’s 24%). “Dark” applies to Tagle as the frontrunner, not Sarah, due to electoral dynamics, not a literal or racial distinction.
Clarification:
Both Tagle and Sarah could theoretically fit “noir” as non-Europeans, but I chose Tagle because his election aligns best with Century V’s imagery (religious shift, eastern influence, polarizing leadership) and 2025’s conclave dynamics. Sarah wasn’t highlighted because his conservative stance makes him less likely, not because his African origin excludes him from the “dark” descriptor.

Conclusion: Tagle is described as “dark” due to his Asian origin and fit with Century V’s prophetic themes, while Sarah, though African, isn’t because his lower likelihood of election sidelines him from the quatrain’s focus.
