This is the fish sign and the fish that their early members talked to: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichthys from the dune encyclopedia: quote:Yet, as a divine life symbol in many cultures, the Vesica Piscis was an oval figure pointed at both ends and representing the air bladder of the fish.

powerful excerpt from near the end of the first bookquote:"You promised me a Harkonnen!" Gurney hissed, and Paul marked the rage in the man's face, the way the inkvine scar stood out dark and ridged. "You ower it to me, m'Lord!"

Im filled with just enough self loathing to admit I loved the butlerian jihad and the prelude to dune series when I read them. In my defense I was like 14 years old. Still remember thinking the part in one of the prelude books where someone jumps their ship into the planet Ix as part of the overarching plot being totally rad

I think it is part of every sci-fi fan’s life growth to realize one day that KJA stuff is total poo poo. There is no shame in that, it is natural and beautiful.

It taught me the idea that an idiotic, terribly written book that is literally point for point, scene for scene, and character for character a retelling of A New Hope can get published and a fair amount of publicity and even a low budget movie if the author’s parents own a publishing house.

Around the same time I was also reading actual good literature and I was like, 'this is not hard to read because I am bad at reading, it's just incoherent poo poo!'

I work at a breakfast joint and was training a new dude on fry station, which is my sietch. I mentioned in the industry thread that this guy turned out to be the Kwisatz Haderach of frying, for he knew my ways as if born to them. A clever goon replied: "Train him on grill next. His name is a grilling word!" That's when I realized our grill guy's name is Paul.  (no one at work will get this, so i just needed to share with y'all)

I think a major development in any consumer of media, is the realization that you just read/heard/watched something bad. Not that it was uninteresting to you, or that you didn't get it, but that it was bad. It is a big day. I am up to Children in my reread. I am more convinced than ever of my Mathematical Prescience idea. However Alia and later Paul both seem to forget this in Messiah, due to the stress of trying to avoid the "bad path". Perhaps that is why Paul's vision ended, although my dominant theory is still that the vision has been handed to Leto. I had forgotten that Paul never saw Leto in the vision.

And he tried to kill the Baron by hiding a poison needle in one of his twinks.

Ok, so our guys made the move to the desert planet. The doctor dude tried to kill the kid, but he got away. The Duke seems chill and they just rescued some people from a giant sandworm. There is a planetologist dude who is grumpy for now. If I understood correctly, the desert suits let people pee and poo directly into them which is cool. Oh yeah, there's some scraggly old woman hanging with the concubine who seems cool. Not sure what the deal is with those knives yet, but whatever.
