In my D&D campaign, I play a time wizard. It's fun to drop lines like this. I think my DM sometimes runs with it, making my statements self-fulfilling prophecy so that I appear to be able to foresee the future.
"The reality principle does like to disabuse us of our whims." (No one at my table has seen Steins;Gate and it is a fantastic source of content for a time wizard haha)
But you gain so much more by rejecting temporal causality than by rejecting empiricism.
