Have it try to complete Wanna's OCB passage that Paul starts to read: "Think you of the fact that a deaf person cannot hear. Then, what deafness may we not all possess? What senses do we lack that we cannot see and cannot hear another world all around us? What is there around us that we cannot" - [cut off by Yueh].

"Once again we find that our knowledge is subject to the whim of ignorance. Here is a personal account of his dealings with "inner voice" "You cannot have confidence in the voices, they give you messages about . . ." there's a character limit but that is totally a plausible passage from Manual of Muad'Dib. To be clear this is only what talktotransformer says, I'm not including the original prompt. You can try it yourself at talktotransformer.com.

"Think you of the fact that a deaf person cannot hear. Then, what deafness may we not all possess? What senses do we lack that we cannot see and cannot hear another world all around us? What is there around us that we cannot 'touch' with our own hands? What is there that we cannot 'feel'? Could the absence of all these senses mean that in order to experience the world at all we must first be prepared to experience it as lacking any sense at all? Does the simplest kind of experience involve the most 'transcendent' sensation, that which can only be experienced with a sense of the universal? Could sense be the least important kind of experience? Can we experience anything at all if we lack a sense, a way of perceiving..." Don't tell Butler!

I actually had to check to be sure which portions of that were TalkToTransformer and which were genuine Herbert “deep thoughts.”

That wasn't a metaphor. She was a f----g corpse. And so it wasn't her fault the plague broke out in the first place, was it? In any case, I'm really upset, here in this brothel, with Stella's dead body in the ground.

That's canon. Caladan's major exports are rice and refurbished mattresses.

I always thought of the inhabited parts of Caladan as warm (growing rice & poo poo) but I suppose if it's a bit chilly then the move to Arrakis is that much more of a wrench

Also IIRC it still technically has polar caps from which the moisture farmers are able to operate and then transport the water to Arakeen/etc. cities. They're just not polar caps in the " continent made of ice" sense but in the "enough moisture build up happens that an atmosphere exists and people and live on and farm it" sense.

He's right guys the book makes it very clear that oxygen and carbon dioxide are both produced by Dune's native life. It's certainly massive enough to retain an inert atmosphere so bing bang boom so simple. It is actually not that simple, since there needs to be something to sink carbon dioxide and since Dune has no oceans it's gotta also be the spice cycle. The way the spice cycle organisms make the planet hostile to everything else is an interesting analogue to real life Earth water-splitting photosynthesizers. The advent of the photosynthesis pathway with electron transport ending at O2 wiped out the majority of life on Earth about two and a half billion years ago.

quote:When Dune hits theaters on December 18, it will only be half the novel, with Warner Bros. agreeing to tell the story in two films, similar to the studio’s approach with Stephen King’s It and It Chapter Two. “I would not agree to make this adaptation of the book with one single movie,” says Villeneuve. “The world is too complex. It’s a world that takes its power in details.” lol

Congrats to the first black woman to father a Zendaya. Liet is an English derivation of Letitia IRL from the latin "gladness." I don't have to tell you that in the US Letitia is stereo-typically a black woman's name. This is weirdly full-circle. Arglebargle III fucked around with this message at 13:57 on Apr 14, 2020 |

I still wish they got Alejandro Jodorowsky to play a hyper version of Liet Kynes father's ghost for the vision scene like don't even give him a script just be be like "Hey Jodo I heard some people have hurt the environment lately what are you're thoughts on tha-" and roll the camera for four hours.Strom Cuzewon posted:I'm digging the stillsuit design.
