WHAT IT’S REALLY ABOUT
Scientist Julia Mossbridge explores precognition, telepathy, time, and culture change
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.”
IDEAS WORTH REMEMBERING
5 ideasPsi claims persist partly because they are culturally costly to investigate.
Mossbridge argues that even peer-reviewed work can be ignored or suppressed, and Rogan frames the barrier as ego and career incentives that punish “foolish” questions more than weak data.
Long-form, widely distributed conversations can shift what people feel permitted to consider.
Rogan suggests internet platforms reduce gatekeeping and let taboo topics (UFOs, psi, consciousness) be discussed without requiring institutional approval, lowering fear of ridicule.
Presentiment research is presented as a measurable, physiology-first route into precognition.
Mossbridge describes experiments where autonomic signals change before random outcomes, plus a reported gender-linked pattern where men show stronger anticipatory arousal in “winning/guessing” tasks.
Language may function as a cognitive filter that suppresses broader informational access.
She cites stroke/TMS findings (left orbital frontal inhibition) and speculates that reduced speech-network dominance could “release” right-hemisphere processing associated with psi-like perception.
Work with nonspeaking autistic spellers is offered as a high-signal domain for testing telepathy.
She recounts cases like the “beach ball slam” idea appearing across separated participants and specific-seeming mind-reading (e.g., ‘3I/Atlas’ rendered phonetically), arguing the pattern warrants controlled protocols rather than dismissal.
WORDS WORTH SAVING
5 quotesI actually don't think it's that exceptional. I think people have these capacities, and they've been dampened down.

Science was it's about discovery. It's about not knowing. It's about being foolish.

The human mind is m- one of the most extraordinary things that's ever been studied, and yet there's no guidebook on how to use it.

When someone tells you something and they say it's true, it doesn't matter until you experience it.
