It may seem counterintuitive, but the first key to understanding precognition is to realize that it is an aspect of our memory. My hypothesis, which I spelled out at length in Time Loops, is that memory is a continuum that extends not only from our childhood to the present but also into our future as well, even until we die. Because such an idea has no place in our sciences or even our folklore of memory, we will misinterpret our “premories" of things ahead of us in time, attributing them to some other phenomenon or (more likely) chalk them up to the random misfires of the easily deluded brain.

In contrast, someone on the insecure side, in that same meeting, might work on offering a contribution in the first fifteen minutes. Either move represents working on one’s backhand—practicing to overcome a deep-seated mind-set.
