Whoa, am I tripping or is anybody else in direct communication with every Reverend Mother that came before me?
President of Sand Planet has big human arms?! My first instinct is that that sucks, but my second instinct is that it rules.
I’m not going to try to say it didn’t kind of go off the rails at some point, but I still loved every minute reading that series.
it's been a few decades since i last read it but iirc the arms are small degenerate arms that can't really do much except maybe operate a lasgun but by that point he didn't really need to do much as he has a private army of fish speakers and his own desert compound within the terrafrormed arrakis
Rereading it right now. Fucking bizarre. At this point I just want to see what happens in the last book or two.
That pic on the right? Yeah, that's Leto II, Paul's son turned into, mostly, a worm, with a face and tiny hands. Also, he's going to live about 3,500 years and turn into a mega sandworm, after forcing peace on the galaxy. I assume it gets weirder.
Rarely do I see someone become radically more knowledgeable or even prophetic because they took drugs, they usually just become loser alcoholics and junkies with no morals, lol.
Idk making libertarians develop empathy seems pretty radical.
Though I guess there's also Musk as junkie with no morals

Funny as I went from years of drug abuse and working dead end jobs with undiagnosed ADHD to turning my life around and becoming a software engineer and then kicking the drugs.
A whole range of people take drugs and most of them do it as they’re blocking other stuff out so I don’t really think you should discount people. Met plenty of fucking sober idiots in my life. If anything in more knowledgable as I’ve got streets smarts as well as book smarts. 🤷
Guess I’m saying don’t be so judgmental.
I dunno… highly depends on the drug. I go to some a music fest in the summer and almost all the people there are the nicest and most caring hippies you’ll meet. Booze is banned, so it’s a different vibe than most music fests, but I think it works out so well.
I feel like in today’s world being caring and nice is close to prophetic because we don’t see enough of it. It really does hit different seeing a ton of strangers look out for each other.
LSD is a whole different game. And you can't get addicted, impossible. Trip today? Yeah, you're not tripping again for another couple of days, no matter how much you take.
