INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Did you know your brain might be gaslighting you once a month on average and scientists consider that completely normal? ...We looked into it.
Welcome to Valid Source? The podcast where we investigate the internet myths, viral claims, and trending gossip you've been thinking about but haven't had time to research. We're not experts. We're just two friends willing to do the extra digging.
This episode: Harley's car gets hit in a parking lot again and has officially become a recurring victim, Ashley got a pedicure and Harley hates feet, and somehow that leads us into one of the most universally experienced phenomena nobody can actually explain. Harley breaks down the science of déjà vu with four competing theories, zero consensus, and one Colorado State University researcher who built a literal déjà vu generator in virtual reality because of course she did.
Ashley shares a genuinely creepy personal story about a business meeting she swears she already lived through, and both hosts decide Dr. O'Connor's claim that healthy adults experience déjà vu once a month is a personal attack. We get into the history of how the term was coined, spoiler: it required a formal proposal at a French medical society meeting, which Ashley finds deeply unnecessary and then we go full conspiracy: past lives, the Matrix glitch theory, parallel universes, prophet dreams, and the idea that time isn't linear and we're all just briefly perceiving too much of it at once. We also propose that déjà vu might come from generational trauma encoded in your DNA, and we're not saying she's wrong.
Valid Source? verdict on déjà vu: real, deeply weird, studied for 150 years, and still nobody actually knows what's happening, which is honestly the most Valid Source? topic we've ever covered.
