In this mind-bending episode, we dive deep into the strange terrain where memory, prophecy, and parallel timelines collide. Justin and Ilara explore the Mandela Effect, déjà vu, retrocausation, and the notion that reality might be running on multiple concurrent “save files.”
We unpack the idea that our current experience might just be one of many overlapping run-throughs of existence—and sometimes, the boundaries blur. Could déjà vu be a glitch from a previous timeline? Is the Mandela Effect the result of two nearly identical versions of reality getting merged for efficiency? And when a sci-fi writer envisions future tech, are they simply remembering it from a run they’ve already lived?
Topics covered include:
Alternate timelines and memory bleed
The double-slit experiment and the role of intent in rendering reality
Sci-fi as subconscious prophecy
The eerie parallels of the Barron Trump novels
The Red Hat prophecy in Hopi tradition
Precognition, nightmares, and bootstrap paradoxes
This episode is packed with theory, speculation, and some downright reality-twisting banter. Whether you’re a simulation skeptic or a multiverse believer, there’s something here to bend your brain.
