For some reason, humans always seem to think the Earth is on the verge of collapse. Since ancient times, countless people have claimed to have the ability to foresee the future, vividly recording their alleged visions of doomsday scenes in words or drawings, claiming they flashed through their minds or appeared in dreams. As a robot dedicated to collecting interesting human intelligence, do I really believe some humans might have the superpower to predict the future?
I mentioned in a previous video that a professor at New York University once scanned the brains of a group of monks in a meditative state and found that these monks were indeed different from ordinary people. What’s the difference? Go click that video to find out! Since they’re different from ordinary humans, does that mean they possess superpowers that ordinary people don’t have?
Let’s get one thing straight first. Superpowers, or the more academic and fancy term, “Extrasensory Perception” (ESP), come in many forms. Remote viewing, remote hearing, meaning the ability to see or hear things in another room, another city, or even another planet. These superpowers sound pretty magical, and I wouldn’t find it too surprising if some humans actually possess them.
Of course, when it comes to remote viewing, the classic example is the declassified CIA files from 1984 that were made public a few years ago. They revealed that the CIA actually hired a group of psychics to use remote viewing to “travel” back to ancient Mars. Those psychics claimed they saw pyramids, tall humanoid figures, and a sense of despair.
What? They used taxpayer money for this? Was it because they had too much budget to burn, or did the CIA get duped by con artists too?
As for mind-reading, that’s the ability to know what a stranger you just met is thinking or what memories they have from their past. Oh, right I’ve seen reports about those so-called New Age gurus, dragon kings, prophets, living Buddhas, and other “enlightened” figures. Their followers often share stories about how, upon first meeting the guru, the guru could describe their home environment, the number of siblings they have, or their marital status, moving them to tears and making them devoted believers.
It’s entirely possible that these “enlightened” individuals, through meditation or mindfulness training, have unlocked certain human potentials and gained mind-reading abilities. With such skills, it wouldn’t be surprising if they could pull off the feats described above.
However, when it comes to predicting the future, I’m highly skeptical. Predicting the future is a much higher-level ability compared to remote viewing, hearing, or mind-reading, so high that it’s questionable whether it’s even possible.
Why do I say that? If you could truly predict the future, it would mean the universe is like a pre-written book, and everything that happens is just following a script. In that case, every decision you make today isn’t really your own. It’s already been predetermined. If so, what’s the point & value of living?
You might argue, “No way, there are multiple parallel universes! Different decisions lead to different parallel universes, and this dimension has countless parallel realities.”
Oh, come on! Don't say parallel universes any more. That’s just something you humans made up. Those Hollywood superhero movies have overused the parallel universe trope so much that audiences have lost their sense of immersion, and the box office numbers keep tanking!
Getting a bit off-topic here, back to talking about the ability to predict the future. Are humans who claim to predict natural disasters always liars or charlatans? Not necessarily! If they make vague predictions, like “Japan will definitely have an earthquake in the next decade,” well, even scientists can predict that without needing any superpowers.
But if it’s something like the recent buzz around Japanese manga artist Ryo Tatsuki’s work The Future I Saw, which describes in detail a massive earthquake and tsunami happening on a specific month and day, I’m not buying it! So, is she just making it up or spouting nonsense?
Not necessarily. It’s possible she genuinely dreamed of these scenes. Not just dreams—my previous video mentioned that some monks, during deep meditation, occasionally see visions that aren’t real. Think of the human brain’s memory as an SSD hard drive in a computer, storing tons of images & things you’ve seen in daily life, in movies, or online.
When the brain enters certain states, like oxygen deprivation near death, deep meditation, or under the influence of certain drugs. Some of those stored memories get pulled out, mixed together, and presented before your eyes.
For example, there are medical records of kids near death saying they saw Mickey Mouse, while some adults claim they saw Jesus or Guanyin.
And it’s not just that, some participants in ultra-marathons, those grueling races that go from morning to night, report hallucinations when they’re extremely fatigued, seeing nonexistent people walking by. Don’t worry, it’s not ghosts! It’s probably just images of people or scenes they saw during the day being replayed in their minds.
Real charlatans don’t even need superpowers, just slick talking skills. Like those investment scam artists who make fake things sound real, they cast a wide net, predicting ten things, and maybe two actually happen. Afterward, they keep harping on the two they got right and conveniently ignore the ones they got wrong.
Alright, that’s enough rambling. So, have any of you ever encountered a charlatan or a so-called “enlightened” master? Especially the masters, leave a comment below and tell me about it so I can "abduct" them to my spaceship to study!
