The Argument

Baba Vanga was a blind mystic who proved her ability to foresee the future. In 1996, she predicted the outbreak of the coronavirus. [1]In the 1970s, she predicted the economic collapse that would come from a crisis. It is clear that the crisis caused by the coronavirus incited the looming economic crash. Vanga’s predictions align with the field experts from the UK, who have said a global economic crash would occur for a long period of time.[2] With the negative economic effects of the coronavirus and predictions from Vanga and field experts, a global economic collapse is inevitable. Even if Baba Vanga has not been right about every one of her predictions, this particular prediction has a good chance of coming true given the economic limbo that the world is in. With no vaccine to safely pull us from the grips of a recession, the economy will get worse before it gets better.

Counter arguments

Although people claim that Baba Vagna was a prophet, she did not say anything about the coming of the coronavirus. [3] Since she said nothing about the coronavirus, it seems skeptical at best to think that she said anything about a financial crisis. She also shared prophecies that did not come true, such as Barack Obama serving as the last president, and war decimating Europe. [4] The failure of her prophecies deems her as an unreliable mystic. Therefore, her claims about a financial crisis are null.

Proponents

Premises

[P1] Baba Vanga was a blind mystic capable of foreseeing the future. [P2] Baba Vanga foretold the global economic crash in the 1970s [P3] Therefore, the global economic crash has been coming for 50 years.
