Talk:Subjective precognition/@comment-7600752-20140503081238

Precognition is a dangerous power. Alice probably tries to keep most of her knowledge about the future secret. She probably knows about how long each of them will live...and how they may eventually die. Most people here probably know the story of "Pandora's Box." It was a box given to the human woman Pandora by the gods. She was told to NEVER open it. However, the curiosity of Pandora overcame her and she opened the box. All the terrors, weaknesses, sicknesses, plagues - everything that caused mankind suffrage was released from the box. But there are two endings to this story.

The false ending says that after all the plagues of mankind were released from the world, Hope was released last, and despite all the terrible plagues that were released upon mankind, there is always Hope.

The original ending was that Pandora shut the box before the last horrible plague was released upon mankind. This plague was precognition. If precognition had been released upon all mankind, then every human being would know their eventual fate, therefore there would be NO hope for each human being. Each person would know their eventual death, and unlike Twilight, there would be nothing to do to stop it from happening. So, humans live in ignorance about their fate. Without precognition, and knowing about their eventual fate, mankind therefore has hope.
