I know some people say they don't read speculative fiction because it's "not realistic" well guess what 😜😂

in dune all space travel relies on spice which is only found on a desert planet inhabited by fremen who start a holy war.

how far away from that are we?

That was deliberately based on Arabs and oil.

@raymaccarthy I'm still waiting for the Butlerian Jihad part where we rise up and destroy the thinking machines 😁

There are no thinking machines yet. Just marketing hype.
Some major players in tech would do well to consider the French Revolution.
Even the Luddites only attacked machines to indirectly attack greedy Capitalists making x100 profit and paying less, yet offering poor conditions. See also McD servers, Amazon warehouse workers etc.

@raymaccarthy Okay, but can't we just call them thinking machines and start the Butlerian Jihad now? 😜
