Oct 28, 2020 
Eric Wargo, science writer with a PhD in anthropology who explores archaeology, psychology, and neuroscience. He discusses precognition, retrocausation, and time loops. They explore quantum brains, the block-universe idea, why precognition is unconscious and symbolic, and practical practices like dream journals and meditation.

Episode notes
Retrocausation Reframes Psychic Phenomena
- Retrocausation reframes psychic phenomena as causal influences from future states rather than mystical signals.
- Eric Wargo ties quantum physics' retrocausal models to precognition, arguing minds can be influenced by information from their future.
Causality Can Run Backwards At Fundamental Scales
- Time need not be nonlinear; causality can be bidirectional at fundamental scales while entropy produces a one-way arrow.
- Wargo points to quantum systems and quantum computers where causal direction can be effectively reversed, scaling into biology.
Brains As Hybrid Quantum Information Systems
- Living systems may scale quantum retrocausal effects, so brains could operate as hybrid quantum-classical computers.
- Wargo suggests this hybrid computing could explain precognition as an unconscious information process.
