An very insightful analysis of Dune that contextualises it within Arab histories. Well worth your time.

L’Épice décrite dans #Dune, dont la suite de l'adaptation sort le 28/2 au cinéma, possède des propriétés qui rappellent celles de molécules bien réelles. Passionné de science-fiction, le chimiste Fabrice Chemla a mené l'enquête sur sa composition.

🔮 TIME FOR A BUTLERIAN JIHAD? 🔨
On March 8, join me, Ed Ongweso Jr, and @brianmerchant for an in-depth discussion of DUNE: PART TWO and whether we need to take a page from science fiction to smash the “thinking machines.”

I just took a sneaky arvo off to rewatch Dune at the cinema and I freakin love it for the giant massive beautiful Denis Villeneuve/Frank Herbert mashup it is. (It's so pretty!)
HOWEVER, a couple of things have lead to a mighty debate on the way home:
a) Cheesecloth🧐
b) Lasers🧐
c) Soggy Jessica🧐

"Una gran población controlada por una pequeña pero poderosa fuerza es una situación muy común en nuestro universo. Y nosotros conocemos las condiciones básicas en las que esta amplia población se acaba volviendo contra sus guardianes:
1. Cuando encuentra un líder. Esta es la amenaza más volátil contra la élite; se debe a toda costa neutralizar, comprar o mantener a todos los posibles líderes bajo control.
2. Cuando la población reconoce sus cadenas. Hay que mantener a la población distraída, ciega y sin capacidad de hacerse preguntas.
3. Cuando la población percibe una esperanza de escapar de sus ataduras. Nunca debe siquiera imaginar que esa posibilidad de huida es factible."
Los hijos de Dune.
