Dune is an amazing blend of both sci fi and high fantasy. It has starships, advanced tech, and energy weapons. It also has castles, chivalry, knights, damsels in distress, magic, sorcery, and dragons (sandworms). Dune was also a direct inspiration of both ASOIF (Game of Thrones) and Warhammer 40K.

I've always felt like the Sisterhood misunderstood Paul. He was exactly what they schemed for, through his son their goals was achieved. Painfully, certainly. But, task failed successfully.

Probably the most alluring part of Dune's lore.

A ten thousand year selective breeding program.

The Bene Gesserit purpose in POWER - their own power and arrogance...

[danieldevito]

The future in Dune is absolutely terrifying.

Here we also have a powerful sisterhood that rules the Earth, they're called ANTS.

the Fremen sayyadinas use the water of life which is a spice derivative to achieve prescience. an awareness spectrum narcotic is all that's needed, not every bene gesserit must use spice

[SyahmiLaggger]

There is a specific term used for the observation technique in the Dune series. It is called "gestalt". Can be used as a noun and as a verb.

These videos are fantastic. Reading Dune feels a bit like understanding modern politicals without snd knowledge of the basics of human history.
These videos help fill in tge gaps so i can make sense of nuances of their world and religion

This man whipped out the thesaurus with this one

Dune is wild. I'd love to see an animated series to visually expand on the universe more. The live action is fun, but is far more limited where animation is not. Maybe I'll check the comics out 🤷 anyone know if they're worth it?

We're making it all the way back to the library of Alexandria with this one 🔥🔥

What an amazingly written presentation 👏 thank u for the great work

[lainiefrye]

All that a BG becomes thru methodical learning of multiple disciplines very much reminds me of an ‘accomplished lady’, like in the days of Pride and Prejudice.

Great video (as always) and I think the lore of "The World of Darkness" would be really fitting your style.
