Yolomon Wayne posted:Remember to pound away arythmically as not to attract more worms It's kind of like how if a bunch of people gently caress to the same pace on a bridge they can topple it due to shared collective rhythm. So as long as you gently caress sandy fremen women in 3/8 and they back the rear end up in 4/4 shai hulud will never find you!

Pimblor posted:Hey Dune thread, read this: Because that seems to me to be what Herbert did, by borrowing concepts which he thought expressive and interesting, and using them in a context set so remotely from its sources that the people in the books don't even remember them. In a similar vein, I don't think of Minnesota Vikings are appropriating anything from my country, despite the fact that people from  , ie. men, women and children and not just Vikings which was an occupation, did actually settle in Great Vinland at one point, a long time before Christopher Columbus falsely laid claim to everything.Having said, Herbert was never shy about admitting that he took inspiration from all manner of sources, up to and including his own previous books which have story-beats that are almost scene-for-scene recreations. Also, some of the points seem particularly to reach a bit far - for example, the colors mentioned in the articles seem to forget that the hawk is explicitly red on the Atreides crest, which as someone in this thread (I'm sorry, I forgot who it was that said it) rightly observed make the color scheme closer to that of the pan-African. The piece seems to end with a call for getting more people to read the book, and while I certainly will stand behind anyone who wants to get more people to read books, I don't think the best way to go about it is to spend what feels like an inordinate amount of an article saying "this author stole all of these things about his books from this author", because given sufficient time anyone can do that until we run out of books and have to refer to now-forgotten oral histories.

D. Ebdrup posted:Is doing what Heinlein did in The Cat Who Walks Through Walls, which can be paraphrased as "filing off the serial numbers and presenting an old story as new", appropriation? quote:Why is Blanch’s influence on Dune worth recognizing? Celebrating Blanch is not a means to discredit Herbert, whose imaginative novel transcends the sum of its influences. But Dune remains massively popular while The Sabres of Paradise languishes in relative obscurity, and renewed public interest in Blanch’s forgotten history would be a welcome development.

Tertius Oculum posted:Some of those comments are rough lmao There's only 12 comments when I looked at it, and they all seemed pretty normal and fine except for this specimen: quote:Also I always thought of the Harkonnens as being like Russians with nothing else to go on other than the name of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. Recently my suspicion was confirmed when reading a story about the Dune™ franchise board game in which the player who is the Harkonnen has the advantage of using turncoats as spies against their opponents (sort of like Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn and just just about anyone else who took an oath of loyalty to protect President Trump). Now with this source based on mid-19th century accounts of the Crimean War we see the players consisting of Russian-backed Cossack Christians and indigenous fanatic Islamic tribes of the Caucasus region. Nowhere in "Dune" do we find Jews but I think the palace on the planet Arrakis that is occupied by the House of Atreides represents a Judahite royal palace, circa late 8th to early 7th century B. C. E. In the book "Dune" this palace has palm trees growing within the perimeter and though there is no evidence of royal gardens on the precincts of Judah's royal palaces (like the Neo-Assyrian royal palaces of the same period), the building's architecture had representations of palmettes on the capitols of the pillars that flanked the entrance. The bolded part is some particularly galaxy-brain level thinking (clearly Herbert had access to the melange giving him foreknowledge of the 2016 election). Also a part about Jews because of course there's a part about Jews.

"With their palm trees, it reminds me of the gardens of Judea, except they didn't have palm trees. Their non-Jewish contemporaries did though, so my point still stands."

 I love Dune, it was definitely a formative novel for me, but come onnnnnnn. Both More Than Human and The Stars My Destination came out more than a decade before Dune and neither were "wonderful gadget" stories, and while I enjoy and acknowledge the scope of Dune's vision its prose doesn't come close to what the 50s authors were doing with the Science Fantasy of their decade. More Than Human is loving literature Plus, Sturgeon invented Killdozer, which goons should appreciate.

holy poo poo if that tech kicks off you can basically have free water and free fuel, as long as you have electricity and time. It can literally pull CO2 out of the air and form it into methanol fuel. You literally do not need water supply at all and just need to deal with sewage. There is also research in thermal batteries, as in your air conditioner stores the summer heat and releases it in winter not to pull politics into gbs, but berns said medicare for all and free school. He also had a thing i just saw today where uncle sam will give you a favorable loan for enough solar panels to run all your poo poo. You pay back this loan over a few years but it is never more than what your electric bill already is, and the panels could last 20 years past that loving incredible. We might really be able to get out of this climate change thing. If you had enough land and a big enough chunk of cash to start with you could essentially never have to work except for food and any taxes or insurance, and maintenance. On a personal basis you would be carbon neutral. Probably the fuel output is low as hell and no normal car would run off of it, but still. Unreal. Too bad almost nobody will have enough money to buy in.
