I read vagina... and then had to re-read :D
What if like a pubescent teen who can dream a simulation of what sex would be like without much prior knowledge, the brain does the same for the soothsayers - they take various parts of reality and the brain puts it into something it can comprehend.

I think the point is not in the brains of soothsayers, often they themselves do not understand what they are talking about, like the holy fools in antiquity. Probably there is a channel for transmitting information. But he is very strange. Through these people there are facts of correct predictions to people, but there is no scientific information. I used to think that people believe in predictions, and then unconsciously adjust their lives to them. But no, it's something else.
It is an interesting area and I wonder if it is "a glitch in the matrix", like an exploit that lets some people see through walls.
Yes, that's the first thing that comes to mind. I'm sad if this is true. I don't want to believe it.
Maybe this is why it is more likely to be true - our beliefs might hide the truths.
