@Bolverk15 Oh and what's your plan? Rely on spice forever? At least they're moving away from unsustainable environmental practices. When the Kwisatz Haderach comes, we'll be able to finally wean off spice and onto sustainable psychic autists to fold spacetime (I haven't read the books).

@francisxwolf This is a good poem. It's not written out in a way that makes the form and structure clear, but it's there. It's a "stream of consciousness" poem for sure, but I can imagine Gil Scott-Heron spitting these words with bongos in the background and you lapping it up.

It did things visually that no film had ever done before. We talk about it 50 years later for a reason. Don't act so high and mighty.
