Honestly the way I predict the future mostly works by letting go of my consciousness to a degree I’ve grown better at maintaining function in the face of, and (without the sleep-mediated difficulty in writing new memories) dreaming possible futures and then after-the-fact evaluating them, in a way that honestly hearing about AI generation reminds me of, that’s kinda where my “#androids dreaming of electric sheep” tag was coming from

I mean the thing is that was exactly what Paul did for the fourth fifth of Dune

I love that the two things Matt Yglesias is unreservedly enthusiastic about are powder cocaine and the geriatric spice, melange.

Jessica and the other Bene Gesserit complaining about misogyny in Dune rings a little false. It’s like, girl, you’re part of a secret order undermining governments with your mind control powers so you can breed the Übermensch who will let you rule the universe. I think the misogyny might be a little bit justified in this case.

@femmenietzsche: Tbf, even in our world rich and powerful people can complain about being persecuted

The head of the Spacing Guild buying Twitter to complain about his treatment by the media.

always blows my mind as a european when people talk about states like “yeah theres nothing in ohio/montana/wyoming/etc” because i look at a map like but. but theyre so big. every state could qualify as its own country what do you mean theres nothing there. and then i ask people from those states and theyre like “yeah theres nothing here” what do you mean theres nothing there!!!

What’s in the steppes of Russia, or the northern forests of Scandinavia? What’s in the Sahara desert?

id like us to sit here and identify some key differences between the sahara desert and ohio for a moment

as a former Ohio resident I think that the key difference is that the sahara probably has more jobs unrelated to meth

untapped meth market in the depths of the sahara desert

I would buy a set of Dune-themed tarot cards

My plan for the public transit system is to make bus drivers into a sort of holyman whose role is cherished in society. Then we give them access to all the ecstasy they want and they’re expected to take it on the job.

This is how space travel works in Dune

To say, “There’s no reason to be afraid,” is to literally take the fear to your heart, like a piece of your own flesh

Oh yeah, and then when it has gone past you gotta turn the inner eye to see its path.
