    Great book! Nice quote!

    I found this passage relevant to Trump’s US Imperium & its own rapidly emerging “precipice”:

    “When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movements become headlong - faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thoughts of obstacles and forget the precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it's too late”

    *A Critique of #FrankHerbert's #Dune Saga*

    You've raised important points about context, and you're right that the #BeneGesserit are morally compromised manipulators whose #Eugenic project deserves scrutiny. Your reminder that #Paul and the Bene Gesserit aren't simple heroes is genuinely valuable— #Herbert absolutely subverts the "chosen one" trope.

    However, I'd gently push back on a few specifics. Paul isn't presented as a #Hitler admirer; rather, 👉his...

  6. prescient visions *horrify* him by showing catastrophic futures he wants to prevent.👈 #Herbert seems to be critiquing how messianic figures *enable* atrocities, not celebrating them. Similarly, the #BeneGesserit aren't painted as straightforward villains—they're morally complex, and #LadyJessica embodies genuine care alongside institutional manipulation.

    Here's what's crucial:

Give it a listen for <4 mins, it slaps, and I hope it makes your morning a little better. matthewherbert.bandcamp.com/al #newMusic #ListenToThis
