It’s some sort of training that allows you to see things in your mind that are either too far away or in the future. Intelligence agencies in the USA and USSR used it.
Some say it is real. If it were then every stock broker on the planet would be trained in remote viewing.
And why haven’t they all won the lottery?

Back in the 60s, I knew a much older woman who claimed she had worked for the original precog studies at Duke. I think the scientist in charge was a research psychologist named Rhine and these took place in the 40s-50s. She was low level, a secretary or perhaps an assistant. Back then, pre-computers, people were hired to do tabulations and what we now know as spread sheets.
She said that first they tested for natural ability. So, it isn’t something anyone can do and only those with abilities were considered for training.
I never saw “Men Who Stared At Goats”, but I’ve read all countries have a few talented viewers and even those only receive impressions. They were originally used for what is now done w/geolocation and satellites.
Remote means seeing another place in real time. Precognition is seeing the future. They don’t necessarily go together in one person and each has a different standard degree and definition of accuracy, upon being checked. Viewers could *hit* on elements of the target without even understanding what they had missed or gotten wrong. While viewers might be asked for their own internal feelings of accuracy, the results were critically checked. There were spectrums of accuracy on several axis. Very complex.
Also, from other sources, the future isn’t a straight-line extrapolation or even a mechanistic algorithm. It appears to be fluid and constantly subject to myriads of other, often mundane, occurrences, everywhere, all at once.
Even the fabled (and likely mythical) Looking Glass was said to be influenced by the emotions of the viewer at the time of viewing. They would get different readings when in different emotional states. Or, they would get readings only accurate at that exact moment and the reading could change at any time.
There are also claims of a machine called a Chronograph that could see the past. They supposedly had to be on site. It is likely fantasy.
Humans have active imaginations and are always looking for an edge.
IIRC, Deagle is/was a reputable company contracted to the Federal Government. They extrapolate trends. Our demographics today were foreseeable, to some degree, in the past. If the extrapolations are continuously updated from reliable data, they stand a chance of accuracy. However, which data is verified as accurate and was doctored data ever used? We know the US Census of 2020 is claimed to be in error. What else is?
What if the Deagle prediction is reinforcing the push for illegal immigration? Just the existence of such a prediction could change the entire outcome in a variety of ways.
This stuff gives me a headache, and I love science-fiction and whatever scientific/historical data I can understand.
