Joe Rogan Experience #2496 - Julia Mossbridge

Scientist Julia Mossbridge explores precognition, telepathy, time, and culture change

1. A.Julia Mossbridge describes her trajectory from mainstream cognitive neuroscience into studying precognition and “presentiment,” arguing that these effects show up repeatedly in controlled physiological experiments despite academic stigma.
2. B.Rogan and Mossbridge discuss cultural incentives—ego, reputational risk, and ideological “team” behavior—that discourage open inquiry in academia, media, and politics, and how long-form internet conversations can loosen those constraints.
3. C.They explore hypotheses that language and left-hemisphere dominance may suppress psi-like perception, citing stroke/TMS findings and parallels with psychedelic research that show reduced brain activity alongside expanded subjective experience.
4. D.Mossbridge presents anecdotal and semi-structured evidence from work with nonspeaking autistic “spellers,” including cross-participant information transfer and mind-reading claims, and frames it as deserving rigorous study rather than dismissal.
5. E.The conversation broadens into physics and philosophy: double-slit, observer effects, retrocausality, an “informational substrate” akin to Akashic records, and Mossbridge’s interest in applying these ideas through tools like her “time machine” audio-journaling app and her book on “nice disclosure.”
