Jan 21, 2026
Eric Wargo, a multidisciplinary researcher and author known for his exploration of retrocausality and dreams, discusses mind-bending concepts with Douglas Rushkoff. They delve into retrocausality, arguing that our future can influence the past. Wargo shares intriguing lab experiments that support these ideas and links them to quantum computing and decision-making. They also explore precognitive dreams, emotional salience, and the notion of the 'Long Self.' Additionally, practical practices like dream journaling are suggested to enhance temporal awareness.

INSIGHT

Future Influences Explain Quantum ‘Randomness’

  • Retrocausality reframes apparent quantum randomness as influence from future events on past states.
  • Eric Wargo argues experimental physics shows future interactions can shape earlier outcomes.
INSIGHT

Brain As A Time-Skewed Computer

  • If brains operate like quantum computers, outputs could precede inputs and enable precognition.
  • Wargo links reversible causation in quantum circuits to possible brain processes.
ANECDOTE

Bem’s Undergraduate Precognition Results

  • Daryl Bem's experiments showed undergrads guessed erotic images better than chance.
  • Wargo uses these large, replicable protocols as evidence for precognitive effects.
