I can't experience, sense, or think of what will happen in the future just as people in the 13th century couldn't. Just as people in the past believed the world was flat was the truth, many of our truths of today could be overturned in the future. There could be dimensions that we are incapable of experiencing, sensing, or thinking of that we make contact with in the future.
True, but the point is that it's not really inaccessible now. The value isn't there right now since we're part of a certain experience where other-dimensional experience isn't all that beneficial. In terms of sensing the future, this is available, too. Only, the future isn't set in stone, so what's sensed is future probabilities rather than a one-and-only future.

These things are not entirely inaccessible right now because we are talking about them. But I have no reason to believe there is nothing I am completely oblivious to right now.

Are you aware of what's happening in all parts of your body all the time, such as all the viruses you combat during the day? Are you aware of the vast electromagnetic spectrum you "can't" see right now?

There's tons of things we're oblivious to. It's part of the experience.
