Yeah, that sums it up pretty well.

My thought is that the precognition described is less predicting what will happen, but rather looking through various possible futures and picking the one you want to move toward. A given person can only experience one track, but that doesn’t mean that the other tracks don’t exist in other timelines. That’s why, once you consciously move toward a given premonition, the spider-sense stops working till you reach that point; you’ve locked yourself into a given timeline.
This has its own problems, of course. If I decide to look ahead to tonight’s Mega-Millions drawing to get the winning numbers, I may not realize that I’ve chosen a future in which I choke on a chicken-bone and die tonight as well.

Sorry, Skald! You’re my friend, but I could not resist!
Precog (like my bud aruvqan). I like knowing what’s coming at me!
Thanks

Really? You don’t see *any *difference between something the privacy implications of which are ultimately duplicable with existing technology (e.g., hidden cameras and PIs) and something that can invade someone completely unvoiced, private, personal thoughts? :dubious:
