if you're prescient how come you keep fucking up? more like golden shower than golden path amirite?

He knows he's going to fuck up, fucking up is part of the path. That was always the downside of prescience - once you've seen it you have fixed it in place and have to live it. That's why Darwi Odrade tries not to use her Atreides prescience to sneak a peak in Chapterhouse.

basically i have been lurching around the house croaking like sian phillips and scaring my boyfriend saying shit like
"they tried and died"
and
"there is a place.... terrifying to us..."

yeah the idea of mastering innate human potential as opposed to technological potential is i think the master stroke of the series

haha i don't remember those parts
i'm assuming the first is about men trying the water, the second is about the place where rev mothers can't look?
― the late great, Thursday, 2 August 2012 16:46 (eleven years ago) link

also the term "pre-spice mass" strikes me a hilarious but idk why
― real men have been preparing manly dishes for centuries (elmo argonaut), Thursday, 2 August 2012 16:52 (eleven years ago) link
i know what you mean, there is something subtly kooky about the whole liet kynes thing
like there's that whole scene where the harkonnens throw him out onto the sand over a pre-spice mass and he's having this ecological ephiphany but all i'm thinking is fart jokes

i wanted more explicit info about the spice orgies tbh
― real men have been preparing manly dishes for centuries (elmo argonaut), Thursday, 2 August 2012 17:10 (eleven years ago) link

I've just re-read all six. It was a bit of a slog in places and I think he wastes some interesting characters by jumping forward millennia at a time between books but overall I think it's a wonderfully imaginative series.
otm - Mentat calculation, Bene Gesserit awareness, Truthsaying, etc. plus all the heightened physical abilities are all things that one could maybe believe would be possible were the human body and brain to be pushed to their full potential.
