Wouldn't precognition violate causality?

Any city gets what it admires, will pay for, and, ultimately, deserves…We want and deserve tin-can architecture in a tinhorn culture. And we will probably be judged not by the monuments we build but by those we have destroyed.--Ada Louise Huxtable, "Farewell to Penn Station", New York Times editorial, 30 October 1963

Not necessarily, perhaps create self fulfilling prophecies, or show one possible future.

Rye i dont think it exists, and ppl who try to prove they can predict things are usually magicians. such as derren brown,, he's ace, so damn clever. And deja vu only ever happens to me with ppl i have known for a long time such as yourself or chris or ivan, and in places ive been before, ive never had it happen somewhere ive never been before. Which suggests to me its just your brain getting mixed up.
