Eric Wargo, PhD joins me to talk about precognitive dreams, time loops, and the case for retrocausation: the idea that the future may be shaping the present in ways we've been culturally trained to ignore. We cover why precognition has been scientifically repressed since the birth of modern science, what a "time loop" actually is (using Carl Jung's scarab synchronicity as a case study), what it means for free will and therapy, and the real psychological risks of having a precognitive experience with no framework to understand it.
