As we learn more about quantum physics, we appreciate that time is non-linear and that we in the present can connect to the past and the future. Anticipating the future is a priority for the Intelligence Community. Can precognition rooted in the principles of quantum physics offer a new opportunity? Over the last 45 years, scientists have conducted controlled experiments that show precognition of otherwise unpredictable events is possible, and we've learned more about the circumstances and practices that support successful precognition. But incorporating this capability into national security practices is fraught with difficulties, including the vagaries of past intelligence applications, understandable skepticism, ethical issues, and a concern that predicting the future might change it.

Carmen is an organizational heretic and all-purpose troublemaker whose only real expertise is asking stupid questions and noticing odd, new things that might amount to something…or maybe not. Carmen spent 32 years at CIA but when you meet her you will hardly notice. She is a recognized national and international expert on intelligence analysis, strategic thinking, diversity of thought, and innovation and intrapreneurs in the public sector. She is the co-author of the book: Rebels at Work: A Handbook for Leading Change from Within, which was informed by her career as a heretic at the CIA. From 2005-2007 Carmen was part of the executive team that led the CIA's Analysis Directorate; in her last assignment before retiring she began the CIA's Lessons Learned program and led the Agency’s first effort to address the challenges posed by social networks, digital ubiquity, and the emerging culture of collaboration.

CoFounder and Exec Director at TILTThe Institute for Love and Time ()

Julia is a disarmingly congenial scientist who believes any question can be asked – and some of these can even be answered in ways that will support a thriving future for humanity. For the past 15 years she’s been studying the psychology, physiology, and physics of precognition and time travel, a course of study that at first led her away from mainstream science, and now, back into it. An internationally renowned expert on prediction, she has addressed audiences of all stripes around the world in her work shaping the field of time travel; to that end, she is co-organizing the invitation-only Quantum Time Machines conference for July 2022 at U. San Diego. Having taught intensives on precognitive forecasting to executives at Google [X] and at the Vail Symposium, invented and patented Choice Compass (a physiologically based binary decision-support app), she currently pursues her mental time travel and precognition research as funded by the Robert Wood Johnson and Bial Foundations.
