cannedtunaAs companies destroy the world in pursuit of profits that will never come, I welcome our Butlerian Jihad
It’s kind of crazy how prescient the original novels were about AI, and how much that was undone by Brian Herbert - the Butlerian Jihad was such a consequential event that even ten thousand years later, the theocratic feudal oligarchy that runs the universe still refuses the break the taboo that it set across countless religions and capital interests, and the best reasoning Brian Herbert could come up with for why this was such a huge taboo was “a giant robot enslaved humanity ten thousand years ago.”
I’d say pretty spot on opinions
I think a better opinion is “they are fucking his corpse and not giving him the courtesy of a reacharound.”
