How is it that fashions never changed in 10,000 years?

You make a great point. Herbert's notion that a human political, social, or cultural _status quo_ might last for 10,000 years is juvenile, ignorant, unrealistic, and preposterous. Maybe 500 years, at the utmost maximum. But 10,000 years? No.

[@AhmadSaifudin116]

​@@satchelsatchelWelcome to fiction

[@Dothreban]

​​@@satchelsatchelThe point is that the Empire became stagnant within its feudal system. The only real change came with Paul and the ultimate change came with Leto II, the God Emperor. Also the Harkonens made there first fortune fron dealing in whale fur for clothing and such. I'm sure fashions changed among the people and the Aristocracy. Its just not explored.

[@ArchThaBoss]

Literally read this on Reddit a few hours ago and then I stumbled upon your comment. I think this explains it pretty well “The stagnancy of the Imperium is deliberate, entrenched by the Imperial power structure, and perpetuated by the few powers outside of the Imperial ruling class that could change things. After the downfall of the Thinking Machines, every facet of the ruling powers of the Human race, from the nobility to the corporations to the Spacing Guild, opted to settle in to stagnation rather than take any risks that might arise from exploration or deviation. The timescale is there to illustrate that, by the time of Paul Atreides, the species entire evolutionary track has settled into a slow decline because of stagnation. 1,000 years, or even 5,000 years, is not enough to really show how dire their addiction to the status quo is. Consider how far the Human race developed in the last 10k years. Then add the 10k years it takes to get to the Butlerian Jihad. From discovery of agriculture to a galaxy(?) spanning empire with all the trimmings of super advanced technology. Being stagnant for 10k years after all that change is almost inconceivable, and yet that is their reality. They don't change, they don't develop or grow or change for 10,000 years. The purpose of Leto Il Atreides, the God Emperor, is to force through domination and unimaginable cruelty and tyranny the Human race to start developing again, to start changing and growing”

[@demidivergence8180]

​@ArchThaBoss thank you, this is the best explanation

[@sarmatianns]

A lot of this (titans, Omnius and whatnot) was added later. It wasn't mentioned by Frank Herbert, which is why it feels tacky and needless. Books published after his death try entice readers by tying as many plot points as possible to Frank's novels.

[@jamesnicholls9969]

His son found notes that Frank had written which fleshed out the universe and that is where the books his son wrote came from

[@sarmatianns]

@jamesnicholls9969 I seriosly doubt that. You notice the difference in approach. To clarify, I believe there were some notes, but I am certain most of it was made up by them

[@PizzaKingSupreme]

@@jamesnicholls9969 That's partially true. While Frank Herbert had left a completed version of Chapterhouse and an outline/partially completed sequel to Chapterhouse after his death, there wasn't anything else outside of that. Brian Herbert makes the erroneous claim of these so-called notes in order to keep writing garbage knock-off novels to insert in the series.

[@Houseofweird]

​@treadstone1138 I always thought they ended some time after the Scattering and before the events of Heretics and Chapterhouse. Canon be damned, for me it's still better as a collaborative work of intricate fanfiction than the prequels, sidequels and sequels.

I agree, the Dune Encyclopedia was much better. FH never officially endorsed it but did express appreciation for the work that had gone into it. Post FH books are poorly-written and the ideas feel like bad fanfiction compared to FH's work.

[@nosonoliento]

The old man couldn't let it go. He should have called it good at the death of Leto II which is where I'll stop the next time I read the series.

They've seemingly changed the wiki timeline over the past year or so.

Thanks for including Frank Herbert's sons collaborative works. While his works are shadows of his fathers they are very important to the lore. Originalists do not consider the sons works as canon however I do appreciate the books.

[@sarmatianns]

I don't mind adding, but the quality is... mediocre at best. And it seems they know as they've just been trying to connect as many plot points as possible to the original novels. That also cheapens Frank's novels, imho.

[@DarkLorde]

One correction I would make. It wasn't Elrood IX that tried to create Amal but a very young, and newly christened Shaddam IV that would conspire with the Bene Tlielax on a recently conquered Ix to attempt to make Amal a reality so he could take away the monopoly on space travel.

@@PizzaKingSupreme carefully with that claim. Most of Brian’s work is based off manuscripts and pieces by his father that wasn't included in the books. Tolkien had this happen as well.

[@PizzaKingSupreme]

@@COMMINTNEWS That is absolutely not true has been refuted by many of Frank Herbert's friends and colleagues. Frank Herbert died in 1986 and suddenly 40 years later, all this undiscovered work starts suddenly appearing? More likely, Brian Herbert, a failed author who was incapable of writing anything noteworthy on his own, saw the money he could make off his father's intellectual property and cashed in. None of the original "notes and unused manuscripts" that Brian Herbert claims to exist have ever been made public, in sharp contrast to Christopher Tolkien who had no problem showing off his father's unused content.

@@NewsRedial I don't remember that from the book. His "Vision" remained after he lost his eyes. Chani's death affected his prescience iirc.

[@rolinthor]

No his prescience cranked up a notch. He was locked into one prescient vision, such that he didn’t need eyes. Then the vision went dark as soon as his twins were born (he had only foreseen his son). Invisibility to prescience would become an important part of Leto II’s Golden Path.

[@EchelonBlue]

@@rolinthor basically, Leto II was born prescient, he did not need to go through any process to get that way. The basics are that any prescient person cannot see any other prescient person, only the places where they have been, or where they intend to go. so when Leto II was born, his prescience kicked in, blinding Paul, who then wandered into the desert which the old Fremen custom for those who are no longer useful to the tribe.

Tolkien was an academic genius who developed the cosmology of Middle Earth as a thorough and unified concept. Lucas and Herbert had great imaginations, but neither one had 10% of Tolkien's knowledge. Yet, how can you measure the "depth" of a fictional universe? The symmetry of its historical narrative? The duration of time that it covers? A qualitative or quantitative measurement of its attested details? The robustness of its potential to inspire? Once a certain threshold of work has been passed, to flesh out a fictional universe, there's really no way to accurately say that it has less depth than others of its ilk.

“…comparable to the depth of Lord of the Rings and Star Wars.” Whaaat?

(And don’t take my word for that - George Lucas himself has said so in interviews).

[@satchelsatchel]

The concept of the Lord of the Rings was born from fairy tales and leprechauns and gnomes-goofy nonsense that no one takes seriously. That kid stuff inspired Tolkien to craft an epic world of high fantasy. Regardless of how _Star Wars_ was conceived, the stories and lore of that universe have grown to include hundreds of sources: All types of books, films, and other media. You can take a silly, tiny little joke of a concept and turn it into something massive and super serious. It just takes work.

As “Dune” from the get-go was not. There is absolutely no comparison between the world-building of “Star Wars” and the other two. And that counts later embellishments by the countless other contributors to the Star Wars franchise as well.

My only issue (and it’s admittedly a geek quibbling here, because no one besides a geek such as myself would really care) is that the content creator lumped the three franchises together. Star Wars has cool stuff but no overarching theme such as LotR’s rejection of power, or Dune’s timescale and projected evolution of the human race. It has the Force (a mystical but vaguely defined power source, see: Rey and her plot armor), the Empire (bad) and the rebel alliance (good). So, it’s still for kids, even though some of them are in the form of old people at this point.

Good video but please learn the actual pronunciations of the names. Its difficult to listen to the video when you repeatedly call things the wrong name

[@MarcoDM1571]

It's Íthaca, not Itháca

[@TheLifeSpot]

For those complaining about additives to Fran Herbert’s Dune. You do realize all of these things added were things he actually wrote? Brian added.

[@BohotTheRobot]

They are not all things he wrote. Brian didn't just copy and paste.

3:45 this makes no sense there are no connection between two religions why would they merge? If it was islam x Christianity it would have made more sense and also this new prophet thing also makes no sense

'They denied us the Hajj!' - which massively predates the Luddites so maybe the history starts there? Debatable at least.

[@JoshuaSunfyre]

So everyone with the “atreides” name is dead?

Toppling a genocidal robot empire that wanted to destroy humanity? Let's continue to count the years as normal. A corporation got a new name and became a bigger company? The year is now 0.

The concept of time is severely underestimated. The authors haven't tsken into consideration that progress is exponential as we're technically are advancing. The authors spreading their story across thousands of years as if we haven't seen that progress in last 50 years is nearly alien to technology of 1950s.

Interesting video, but my God the narrator has an annoying voice. It’s really not necessary to go up at the end of every sentence. Very offputting.
