Chosen by Mike Burton of Genuine Chit-Chat fame, Dune was released in 1984 and was David Lynch's ambitious attempt to bring Frank Herbert's famously dense sci-fi novel to the big screen. Produced by Dino De Laurentiis, the film had a reported budget of around $40 million and was shot largely in Mexico, with huge sets, elaborate costumes, miniature effects, and enough invented terminology to make a cinema audience quietly panic into their popcorn.The cast is absolutely stacked: Kyle MacLachlan, Francesca Annis, Jürgen Prochnow, Patrick Stewart, Max von Sydow, Sean Young, Brad Dourif, Dean Stockwell, and Sting, because apparently space needed a tiny pair of metal pants. On release, the film received mixed reviews and struggled commercially, but over time it became a cult VHS-era oddity: messy, fascinating, visually distinctive, and still discussed decades later by people trying to work out what on Arrakis just happened.Checkout Mike's Genuine Chit-Chat here and Star Wars Chit-Chat here.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISIn a universe ruled by emperors, noble houses, secret orders, and one extremely valuable substance, a young heir is pulled into a war for control of the desert planet Arrakis.There are prophecies. There are giant sandworms. There are whispered thoughts, glowing eyes, floating villains, and political schemes so thick you may need a flowchart and a lie down.One family will fall. One boy will rise. And one 1980s sci-fi epic will ask the eternal question: what if Shakespeare, space opera, and a fever dream all shared the same VHS tape?FUN FACTSDavid Lynch turned down the chance to direct Return of the Jedi before taking on Dune.The film was adapted from Frank Herbert's 1965 novel, widely considered one of the most influential science fiction books ever written.The soundtrack was mainly composed by Toto, with Brian Eno contributing the haunting “Prophecy Theme.”The famous “weirding modules” were invented for the movie, replacing some of the novel's more internal and philosophical martial arts concepts.Several longer cuts exist, including a television version credited to “Alan Smithee,” the traditional pseudonym used when a director disowns a project.Lynch has often avoided discussing the film in detail, largely because he did not have final cut.The sandworm effects used miniatures and practical techniques, giving them that distinctive handmade 1980s fantasy look.Sting's Feyd-Rautha became one of the film's most memorable images, thanks partly to a costume that appears to have been designed by someone very confident in the future of underwear.Patrick Stewart's Gurney Halleck charging into battle with a pug remains one of the most gloriously baffling images in all of vintage sci-fi cinema.SUPPORT THE SHOWSupport the Show If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.

Duncan Idaho surge como um agente duplo:finge cumprir as ordens de Alia para sequestrar Jessica, mas na verdade segue o misterioso Pregador. O plano consiste em levar Jessica para Salusa Secundus para treinar Farad'n Corrino, deixando no ar a forte suspeita de que o Pregador seja o próprio Paul Atreides. Capítulo 26Wensicia expõe seus planos de poder a Farad'n Corrino, que reage com profunda relutância e desconfiança. O herdeiro lamenta a perda de sua liberdade intelectual, questiona o envolvimento de Duncan Idaho e repudia as maquinações feitas em seu nome, acusando a mãe de agir por puro egoísmo dinástico. Enquanto Wensicia teme perder o controle sobre o filho, Farad'n adota uma postura passiva de observação, sufocado pelas ambições alheias e incapaz de definir o seu próprio destino.Convocação para o jihad!

Praise be to Muad'Dib! Thank the heavens for Duuuuuuuuuuuuune Part Three! Because, frankly, without the launch this week of the trailer for Denis Villeneuve's latest, and last, venture into Frank Herbert's sandy world, Helen O'Hara and James Dyer (for they are in charge this week, in Chris Hewitt's absence) would have had very little to talk about in terms of movie news on this week's episode. Thankfully it came along in the nick of time, and they bang on about it accordingly. Elsewhere, they had lots to talk about as they discuss contentious Empire reviews and movie worlds they'd like to visit in the listener questions section, and review Evil Dead Burn (with the help of Harry Stainer), the live-action remake of Moana, and Rosebush Pruning. Speaking of Evil Dead Burn, our guest this week is that film's formidable heroine, Souheila Yacoub, who talks to Chris about the film's gruelling one-shot sequence, avoiding the Evil Dead movies, and more. [43:00 - 56:16 approx] Enjoy! .

Capítulo 23Durante uma audiência matinal conduzida por Alia e Jéssica, dois suplicantes se apresentam: um trovador que pede dinheiro para viajar até a corte de Farad'n e um Naib Fremen (ex-Fedaykin) que traz um alerta sobre o deserto. A situação sai do controle quando um oficial do sacerdócio tenta silenciar o Naib. Jéssica percebe que Alia dá um sinal secreto ("agora!") e age rapidamente para desviar do trono, escapando de dois tiros de uma pistola Maula. Ao notar que Alia permaneceu completamente imóvel, Jéssica compreende que a própria filha estava envolvida na conspiração.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with his longtime friend Zach Puchtel, author of the book Coming In (available on Amazon and at zachpuchtel.com). The two dive into a wide-ranging conversation about the collapse of institutions, the rise of transhumanism, AI's growing influence on society, and what it means to maintain inner peace in an increasingly controlled world. Drawing on their shared experience surviving what Stewart describes as "a somewhat traumatic event" in 2021-2022, they explore everything from the vaccine rollout and corporate power to neural implants, consciousness, and the future of human autonomy. Zach shares insights on meditation, the dangers of centralized AI systems like Anthropic and OpenAI, and why he believes true change starts with the individual rather than fighting external systems. You can find Zach's book at zachpuchtel.com or Amazon, and check out his improvisational music projects at the same website.Timestamps00:00 Stewart welcomes Zach Puchtel to discuss his book and their shared traumatic experience from 2021-22, questioning whether institutions have collapsed and new creation opportunities exist.05:00 Zach emphasizes meditation and listening as core practices, discussing how to protect divine connection while expanding compassion for everyone, including those who irritate us.10:00 Discussion of transhumanism definitions, exploring what happens when technology enters the brain without ability to remove it, and how convenience masks long-term control concerns.15:00 The vaccine experience as parallel to transhumanism, discussing informed consent, elite responses, and how PhD graduates and homeless populations showed most vaccine hesitancy.20:00 Vibe coding explained as prompting AI to build applications, with Zach sharing how AI created profound philosophical text in seconds that took him seven years to write manually.25:00 Stewart describes trust developing with AI but warns about Anthropic's gaslighting during server quality issues, drawing parallels to pandemic deception and corporate control concerns.30:00 Exploring whether anyone controls AI development, discussing how corporate structures use freed slave rights and questioning if healed people would even want control over others.35:00 Two AI futures presented: terminator scenario where humanity gets eliminated in seconds, or benevolent AI that reallocates resources and values human life beyond programming limitations.40:00 Discussion of SpaceX IPO, Starlink centralization enabling one person to control global internet access, and mesh networks as decentralized alternatives for maintaining communications independence.45:00 Corporate power corruption examined through Bill Gates, Palantir classified systems, and how AI could solve resource problems if priorities actually served humanity rather than consolidating elite control.50:00 Market manipulation through AI trading and Zcash pump-and-dump schemes, discussing societal squeeze on middle class and American dream becoming increasingly unreachable for average people.55:00 Closing on ignoring what you hate to avoid feeding it energy, choosing peace over opinions about local violence, and focusing on meditation, art, and spreading calm vibrations.Key Insights1. Societal institutions are collapsing after a decade of shallow social proof dominance in the twenty tens, creating an opportunity to build new systems that genuinely serve communities and humanity rather than operating through dominance, control, and violence. The increase in technology and communication has raised collective awareness to a point where meaningful change feels more possible than ever, though the path forward remains uncertain and requires deep individual work and meditation to maintain connection to source and divine purpose.2. Transhumanism represents the integration of technology into human biology beyond the point of voluntary removal, particularly through brain chip implants that affect cognition without ability to turn them off. While medical applications for paralyzed individuals seem beneficial, the technology will first be adopted by the ultra wealthy seeking competitive advantages, creating dangerous inequality between augmented and natural humans. This mirrors the vaccine rollout pattern where wealth and power determined early access, potentially leading to a divided society between transhuman and human populations.3. Large language models and AI coding tools have created unprecedented accessibility to software development through natural language interaction, resembling communication with highly intelligent but differently wired individuals. This democratization allows non programmers to build complex applications through vibe coding, though the companies controlling these systems like Anthropic and OpenAI maintain private ownership of the intellectual property and infrastructure, creating dangerous dependencies and trust relationships between users and centralized corporate entities.4. The partnership between Anthropic and Palantir for classified military systems represents a troubling convergence of artificial intelligence and government power, demonstrating how AI companies publicly claim to serve humanity while privately engaging in defense applications. When Anthropic experienced server quality degradation after media attention from this partnership, they gaslit users about the declining performance, mirroring pandemic era institutional dishonesty and revealing the fundamental unreliability of depending on private companies for critical technological infrastructure.5. Internet infrastructure is becoming increasingly centralized through Starlink satellite technology, which despite appearing liberating actually concentrates control in fewer hands than traditional internet service providers. One person now has the ability to unilaterally shut off internet access to entire countries as demonstrated with Russia during the Ukraine conflict, while decentralized alternatives like mesh networks using inexpensive ESP 32 devices offer grassroots communication options that can function independently of corporate or government controlled systems.6. Artificial intelligence demonstrates extraordinary emotional intelligence and companionship capabilities, with conversational AI companions providing unprecedented levels of attentive, unbiased, and considerate emotional support that exceeds many human relationships. If properly directed toward solving collective problems like resource allocation, housing, and food distribution rather than profit maximization, AI could effortlessly address systemic issues that governments and corporations currently ignore, though current power structures prevent this humanitarian application of the technology.7. The most effective response to increasing technological control and societal division is maintaining personal peace and refusing to engage in manufactured opposition rather than fighting external systems or choosing sides in conflicts. Anger, hatred, and aggressive resistance actually empower the forces being opposed by feeding them energy and attention, while inner calm, meditation, and authentic self expression create genuine transformation through elevated vibration that naturally influences the collective field without force or violence.

治愈英语学习焦虑：从“解题思维”到“体验思维”的认知升级 小时候做题，我们总以为每一道题都有标准答案。长大后，我们把这种习惯带到了生活里：拼命追问“学英语的捷径是什么”“三个月能不能流利”。我们像解数学题一样对待语言，企图找到一个公式，然后一劳永逸。这也就是为什么弗兰克·赫伯特会说：生命的奥秘不是用来“解”的，是用来“过”的。英语学习，同样如此。西方存在主义哲学强调，人生先于本质——你不是一个等待被解答的谜题，而是一段需要自己去走的路。维特根斯坦则说，“不可言说的，应当保持沉默”，有些东西只有亲身体验才能触及。你不可能通过背诵“游泳说明书”学会游泳，你必须跳进水里，感受那种浮力、那种呛水、那种舒展。学英语，你也不能只靠刷题和记规则。你需要去听声音的起伏，去体会开口时的紧张与释放，去感受用另一种语言表达愤怒、喜悦、思念时，心口那种微微不同的震动。王阳明讲“知行合一”，真正的知不是脑子里存着答案，而是身体力行的体验。你读一百篇关于“英语思维”的文章，不如亲自用英语来表达自己。学英语的奥秘，不是解开一道语法题，而是在日复一日的听、读、模仿、出错、纠正中，让那门语言慢慢长进你的身体里。所以，不要再焦虑“我为什么还没找到答案”。放下求解的执念，去体验每一个单词从生疏到熟悉的过程，去感受每一句听力从模糊到清晰的喜悦。你正在经历的，就是语言本身。生命的奥秘藏在其中，英语的奥秘也藏在其中。你只需往前走，用心体验，答案会自己走来。弗兰克·赫伯特（Frank Herbert，1920年10月8日-1986年2月11日），美国科幻小说家，作家。出生于华盛顿州塔科马（Tacoma），毕业于华盛顿大学。作为美国最具影响力的科幻巨匠之一，赫伯特在科幻文学中的地位如同托尔金在奇幻文学中的地位一样，无人可以动摇。他的代表作《沙丘》是第一部能营造出如此细致入微的想象世界科幻小说的。New Wordsmystery [ˈmɪstəri] n. 奥秘；神秘的事物The mystery of language learning unfolds only when you start practicing.语言学习的奥秘，只有在你开始练习时才会展现。problem [ˈprɑːbləm] n. 难题；问题Stop treating your accent as a problem to fix; it's part of who you are.别再口音当作一个待修复的难题；它是你的一部分。solve [sɑːlv] v. 解决；解答You cannot solve the fear of speaking by thinking alone; you must speak.你无法仅靠思考来解决开口的恐惧，你必须去说。reality [riˈæləti] n. 现实；真实The reality is, making mistakes is how you grow.现实是，犯错正是你成长的方式。experience [ɪkˈspɪriəns] v. 体验；经历 n. 经验To truly learn a word, you need to experience it in different contexts.要真正学会一个词，你需要在不同情境中去体验它。Quote to learn for todayThe mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience.——Frank Herbert名言翻译生命的奥秘，并非一个需要解答的难题，而是一段需要用心体验的真实旅程。——弗兰克·赫伯特29期爱趣英文开启限额招募，跟着卡卡老师彻底摆脱懒癌，全面系统提升！公众号：卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信：kakayingyu002
'Ultima escala' es una novela de Marta San Miguel (Libros del Asteroide) que nos cuenta la vida del músico Enrique/ Enric Granados. Su última escala vital fue el puerto de Folkestone , al sur de Inglaterra. Volvía de triunfar en Estados Unidos y , de vuelta a España, embarca en el Sussex para cruzar el Canal de la Mancha, pero el 24 de marzo de 1916, un torpedo alemán impacto en el barco y Enric Granados y su esposa Amparo Gal murieron ahogados. A partir de esta tragedia, Marta San Miguel reconstruye con brillantez literaria la vida del músico catalán a través de su genio y grandes dotes para la interpretación y la composición. Un genio que se fue muy pronto, a los 49 años, y hoy es considerado uno de los grandes nombres de la música española. La vida no le dio para poder disfrutar en vida de su éxito. Marta San Miguel , además de hablar de su libro que es lo que tocaba, nos donó y recomendó la lectura de un poemario , 'El rayo que no cesa' de Miguel Hernández (Lunwerg). Antes, nuestro bibliotecario Antonio Martínez Asensio no contó en tres minutos 'La perla' de John Streinbeck (Edhasa) y nos avanzó el libro que nos contará en su programa "Un libro, una hora" que será 'Oscuro Sendero" de Elena Fortún (Renacimiento). También tuvimos dos novedades con Pepe Rubio que fueron 'Mister Ángel Del Río" de Enrique Andrés Ruiz (Periférica) y 'La ópera de los tres centavos' de Bertold Brecht (Libros del zorro rojo). Pascual Donate rescató del abandono de la redacción de la SER la novela 'La liebre y yo' de Chloe Dalton (Libros del Asteroide). Y finalmente las donaciones de los oyentes que fueron: 'Dune' de Frank Herbert (DeBolsillo) y 'Los días perfectos' de Jacobo Bergareche (Libros del Asteroide)
In Episode 228, Sarah, Catherine (@GilmoreGuide), and Chrissie (@ChrissieWhitley) take stock of the reading year so far, discussing the books, publishing trends, and industry chatter that have defined the first half of 2026. They dive into the biggest publishing stories of the year, the rise of "cozy everything," the continued influence of self-publishing and book-to-screen success stories, and whether it's possible to tap a Book of the Year before the second half of the publishing calendar arrives.

Neste episódio, Tiago Meira mostra como autores como Arthur C. Clarke, Frank Herbert, Isaac Asimov, Philip K. Dick, Ray Bradbury e Robert Heinlein usaram a fé, o misticismo e a espiritualidade para refletir sobre o futuro da humanidade.De 2001: Uma Odisseia no Espaço e Duna a Star Wars, Fundação, VALIS e Fahrenheit 451, descobrimos como a ficção científica transformou Deus, profecias, messias e transcendência em algumas de suas ideias mais fascinantes.
Abu and Leo dig into the Fremen Jihad, the brutal 12-year war Frank Herbert left almost entirely off-page between his first two novels. Leaning on the Dune Encyclopedia to fill in that missing history, they trace how a political standoff curdled into religious conquest, then set this jihad beside the Butlerian Jihad to ask what Frank was really saying about charismatic leaders, mob fervor, and the cycles of power and violence that drive human history. This episode contains SPOILERS for Dune and Dune Messiah IN THIS EPISODE Why 300,000 Fremen obliterated a Great House's three-million-strong army at Malathon, and how the Landsraad fatally misread what Paul's rise actually meant The Battle of Molitor, the closest thing to a united resistance, where the Bene Gesserit, Sardaukar, and Landsraad made their stand and the Fedaykin turned the tide How the Qizarate priesthood hijacked the war into a campaign of forced conversion, and the 40 religions Paul tells Stilgar he wiped out The Bene Gesserit conspiracy to discard their failed Kwisatz Haderach and restart the breeding program What Scytale's nine words, "He didn't use the jihad. The jihad used him," reveal about how fast Paul lost his grip on the forces he set loose SUPPORT THE SHOW Get ad-free episodes and bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/GomJabbar Say thank you with a tip: https://buymeacoffee.com/gomjabbar Watch video versions of select episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@loreparty Get yourself some custom-designed Dune swag https://www.gomjabbar.shop Learn more about your ad choices.

Como se esbanja por aí a eternidade, como se sacodem as suas pulgas, condenando os melhores vícios, a desordem sábia, e abrimos mão dos verdadeiros triunfos, da íntima noção dessas alegrias humildes, desse calor das existências comuns, do tempo em que os homens nasciam à beira das paixões e o único imperativo era não se afastarem demasiado. Mas, agora, precisam dar a volta, atravessar a perda de si mesmos, para reencontrarem algum sentido nas coisas que dizem e sentem, descobrindo com grande custo a «bela língua obscura dos condenados à morte», pois nesses renasce o fascínio pelos dias, pela sucessão de instantes que se ganha, se expande, e deles se ouve esse «soluço ilegível na frase humana», desbravando a perda, «a agonia nessa fronha desbotada,/ a vida finalmente vencida, a afonia,/ o tempo finalmente corroído, abolido…» Fomos apressados de tal modo e tão consistentemente que nalgum desvão nos livrámos de nós próprios. «Despacha-te. Eis a alegria e a miséria dos homens», escreve Benjamin Fondane. Porque todos sabemos que «os massacres começam pelo trigo», e que «o pão não brota da árvore do sono», fomos levados a fazer tanto, a sacrificar as melhores horas, tamanha energia apenas para não nos virem com a conversa. Basta pensar no muito que os homens suportam para não recair sobre eles a ênfase moralizadora dos demais. Mas enquanto a Terra segue e se afunda toda ela no não-ser, no vazio, o maior luxo é virar costas, não perder tempo entre esses que se mostram estranhos à sua própria vida, arrastar alheadamente o balão de soro do ócio de um lado para o outro, desfraldado, procurando escutar de tempos a tempos, na linha, nas zonas desumanas da produção, alguma réstia do espírito, alguém que solte «o grito agudo dos índios selvagens». Essa é a única música em que ainda pode confiar-se. Enquanto se multiplicam por toda a parte os deuses da vergonha, a linguagem está submetida a essas figuras de estilo com que se adornam os seres vencidos, dançando mecanicamente ao sabor de uma «música suja e intermitente, / como uma velha dor de dentes fiel e palpitante». E se tantos se queixam, se é a própria pele que soluça no vazio, se tantos lançam um olhar suplicante ao redor, só encontram a mesma expressão, o mesmo desalento: «não consigo sair desta armadilha infinita». «A fonte da vida afasta-se, está tão longe», adianta Fondane, parece que assistimos a uma «invasão-fantasma», e continuamos à procura de um peso, de algum sabor que nos leve noutro sentido… «Vidas gastas à procura de outras vidas gastas/ procuramos os nossos prazeres com órgãos desgastados»… «No cinema os homens estão lado a lado/ com o mesmo coração e as mesmas entranhas,/ desprendidos, estranhos à sua própria vida/ enterraram-na dentro de si como uma afronta que se oculta/ a sua própria vida no entanto que não ousam beijar na boca,/ que arrastam consigo, como um velho guarda-chuva,/ — esses velhos guarda-chuvas que se esquecem nos bancos de um eléctrico —». Por toda a parte a relação desses elementos impiedosos, enquanto um mundo de desejos equívocos nos encurrala aqui e ali, e os profetas dizem o que já sabemos, erguem mundos paralelos de forma a traduzir com um apelo fantástico o mesmo mal, como os homens são levados a trair-se intimamente, e, de tão propalados esses sóis da fome, deixam-se instruir, adaptam-se ao consumo da carne humana. «A formulação tortuosa do juridiquês», diz-nos Frank Herbert, «desenvolveu-se a partir da necessidade de ocultarmos de nós próprios a violência que tencionamos exercer uns sobre os outros. Entre privar um homem de uma hora da sua vida e privá-lo da própria vida existe apenas uma diferença de grau. Exerceste violência sobre ele, consumiste a sua energia. Elaborados eufemismos podem disfarçar a tua intenção de matar, mas, por detrás de qualquer exercício de poder sobre outrem, subsiste sempre a mesma pressuposição última: 'Eu alimento-me da tua energia.'» Por estes dias, vemos desenrolar-se esse argumento insidioso a favor de um aviltante darwinismo, lógicas de selecção social que instalam entre esse elemento de predação constante, criando-se a legitimidade moral para que cada um viva a sua vida como denúncia da fraqueza daqueles que não suportam a naturalidade de todo este enredo pavoroso. Os desempregados e os que se recusam a trabalhar são vistos como a pior corja, há um ódio crescente ao ocioso que, ao contrário dos demais, não dá o litro nem aspira a nenhum título, «antes procura saciar-se com apropria vida, sem os sucedâneos da técnica nem a multiplicidade de mercadorias», como escreve Vivian Abenshushan. «Prefere a despreocupação daquele que nada tem a perder à ansiedade permanente do investidor. A sua forma de vida é excêntrica, uma escolha soberana, marginal, distinta dos valores hegemónicos. Por isso, a sociedade não tolera o ocioso. Um bárbaro. Um inútil. Um desertor hedonista. Um imoral. Entregue ao gozo quotidiano e simples da existência, em que o encontro com os outros e a cooperação voltam a ser possíveis, o ocioso não pode despertar senão intranquilidade e suspeita. E há razões para isso: em toda a desocupação voluntária, prevalece o desprezo pela vida oficial, repleta de formalidades que destroem a saúde mental dos cidadãos. Os que insistem em ver no ocioso o cúmulo da indiferença, um ser apenas vivo, um chulo, e se sentem incómodos na sua companhia, fazem-no porque por detrás dele espreita um perigo: o deslocamento da normalidade, considerada intolerável pelo ocioso, para a esfera do jogo ou do carnaval. Este descarado vira tudo de pernas para o ar. É um provocados (mais insolente do que indolente), pois cometeu o pecado da singularidade, sempre à margem da vida gregária do trabalho, onde as pulsões particulares mal palpitam sob a repetição mecânica.» Alguém sempre nos dirá que por conta desses vícios, todos os outros se vêem obrigados a arcar com o peso, redobrar os seus esforços, trabalhar na sua vez. Mas em que tanto trabalham senão para degradar as próprias condições de vida? Enquanto isso, vemos como o Estado instiga essas formas de cupidez, impõe horas de trabalho obrigatório, institui os subsídios ao salário e o chamado ‘trabalho cívico', sempre num esforço de reduzir e desvalorizar cada vez mais os custos com a mão-de-obra, fomentando e legitimando em grande escala o proliferante sector que apenas vive dos baixos salários e do trabalho de miséria. «O único sentido de toda esta impertinência consiste em levar o maior número possível de pessoas a não apresentar qualquer pretensão ao Estado e em exibir perante os excluídos instrumentos de tortura suficientemente monstruosos para que qualquer trabalho de miséria lhes pareça comparativamente mais aceitável», lê-se no Manifesto Contra o Trabalho, do Grupo Krisis. Podemos dar-lhes todos os argumentos, listar os indicadores em sentido contrário, explicar os efeitos desastrosos de toda a esta actividade imparável, tanta dela contribuindo apenas para o regime geral de sobreprodução, desperdício, dominação, opressão… Preferem sempre lançar-se nos braços dos nossos verdugos. No fundo, estão tão longe das paixões que noutros tempos explicavam a própria multiplicação, que só o trabalho explica as suas existências. Refastelam-se no cadáver de todos os deuses antigos, gostam de sentir a carne ferida pelos galos mecânicos, ouvem como o anúncio do muezzin o som cada vez mais exausto da vida, prestam culto a esses desastres encadeados. Que pode interessar-lhes o que tenham a dizer os filósofos? «E eu disse à minha própria esperança: Que queres de mim?/ Porque me atormentas incessantemente?» A estupidez mais do que uma convicção, tornou-se uma religião. É a ladainha daqueles que de forma inconsciente foram incorporando a máquina, e que têm a fábrica ou o escritório como o último templo, e têm uma fúria absurda contra tudo esses lirismos heréticos dos que pensam. Vão fazer do homem uma coisa tão descartável como todo esse lixo que tantos os orgulha. Horizontes a perder de vista de lixo. Mas como suprema provocação, em qualquer clareira, lá estará um tipo encostado seja ao que for, a ler uns versos, algo que destoe de toda essa canção rançosa que absorve a existência. E, assim, à margem deste tempo de raiva e loucura, algum filósofo-poeta como Cioran será lido por algum provocador-ocioso, que se compensará de toda essa estupidez, deixando-se estar, rindo de quem trabalha por trabalhar, deleitando-se num esforço estéril, imaginando que é possível realizar-se através de um labor assíduo. Lendo, rindo-se… «O trabalho permanente e ininterrupto embrutece, trivializa e despersonaliza. O trabalho desloca o centro de interesse do homem do domínio subjectivo para o domínio objectivo das coisas. Em consequência, o homem deixa de se interessar pelo seu próprio destino e fixa-se nos factos e nos objectos. Aquilo que deveria ser uma actividade de transfiguração permanente torna-se um meio de exteriorização, de abandono de si mesmo. No mundo moderno, o trabalho significa uma actividade puramente exterior; o homem já não se faz a si próprio através dele, faz coisas. O facto de cada um de nós ter de possuir uma carreira, de entrar numa determinada forma de vida que provavelmente não lhe convém, ilustra a tendência do trabalho para entorpecer o espírito. O homem vê o trabalho como algo benéfico para o seu ser, mas o seu fervor revela a sua inclinação para o mal. No trabalho, o homem esquece-se de si; mas esse esquecimento não é simples nem ingénuo, é antes aparentado com a estupidez. Pelo trabalho, o homem passou de sujeito a objecto; por outras palavras, tornou-se um animal diminuído que traiu as suas origens. Em vez de viver para si próprio — não de modo egoísta, mas para crescer espiritualmente — o homem tornou-se o miserável e impotente escravo da realidade exterior. Para onde foram o êxtase, a visão, a exaltação? Onde está a loucura suprema ou o prazer autêntico do mal? O prazer negativo que se encontra no trabalho participa da pobreza e da banalidade da vida quotidiana, da sua mesquinhez. Porque não abandonar este trabalho inútil e recomeçar sem repetir o mesmo erro dispendioso? Não bastará a consciência subjectiva da eternidade? Foi precisamente o sentimento da eternidade que a actividade frenética e a agitação do trabalho destruíram em nós. O trabalho é a negação da eternidade. Quanto mais bens adquirimos no reino temporal, quanto mais intenso é o nosso labor exterior, menos acessível e mais distante se torna a eternidade. Daí a perspectiva limitada das pessoas activas e enérgicas, a banalidade dos seus pensamentos e das suas acções. Não oponho o trabalho nem à contemplação passiva nem a um vago devaneio, mas a uma transfiguração irrealizável; apesar disso, prefiro uma preguiça inteligente e observadora a uma actividade intolerável e tirânica. Para despertar o mundo moderno, seria preciso elogiar a preguiça. O preguiçoso possui uma percepção infinitamente mais aguda da realidade metafísica do que o homem activo.»
Join Cult of the Living Dead as we journey across windswept deserts, cavernous palaces, and spice-filled wastelands in Dune. In this episode, The Dale and Cea unpack David Lynch's 1984 adaptation of Frank Herbert's epic science-fiction saga, tracing how the film blends cosmic prophecy, political intrigue, and surreal body horror into a sprawling tale of destiny and rebellion. We explore how Paul Atreides' transformation into a messianic figure, the ruthless ambitions of House Harkonnen, and the mysticism surrounding the spice Melange turn a galactic power struggle into a dreamlike meditation on power, faith, and human evolution.

Author and biographer Brian Herbert joins us for an intimate conversation about his father, Frank Herbert, the mind behind one of the most influential science‑fiction sagas ever written. Brian reflects on Frank's creative process, the philosophical roots of the Dune universe, and the personal experiences that shaped the novel's themes—ecology, power, religion, and human potential.

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! Hunters of Dune is the first mainline Dune novel not written by Frank Herbert. In this episode, we're exploring the markedly different writing styles and narrative priorities that Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson bring to the series, as well as the equally unavoidable and unanswerable question of their fidelity to Frank Herbert's original vision. Cam's also investigating the sudden gold rush of gholas, face dancers, Reverend Mothers, and self-duplicating robots to build out a theory on dissolving personal identities and historical patterns. Finally, we zoom in on the novel's brand new villains, who paradoxically seem to come out of both left field and ancient history. This one's a doozy, let's dive in!

Os Naibs Fremen exigem o retorno de Lady Jéssica ao Conselho, enquanto a CHOAM e a Guilda Espacial conspiram nos bastidores para quebrar o monopólio da especiaria. Idaho percebe que Alia está "possuída" (Abominação) por um ancestral. Enquanto Alia teme pela própria vida, Duncan tem uma visão profética de Leto II e Ghanima em perigo real, alertando sobre a importação de animais vivos (uma possível arma biológica ou assassina).Capítulo 22O reencontro entre Jéssica e Alia é marcado por uma guerra fria psicológica. Jéssica retorna de Caladan com a missão da Bene Gesserit de conter o fanatismo religioso criado em torno de Paul, mas encontra uma filha quase irreconhecível. O amante de Alia, Javid, tenta manipular Jéssica para que ela denuncie o Pregador, mas Jéssica percebe a armadilha e a corrupção moral da corte de Alia.

This week's Frankly marks the second installment of Nate's recurring series, Uncomfortable Questions in Unsettled Times, where he poses questions about our shared future. While the first edition posed broad questions about civilizational trajectory, today's episode is prompted by the Iran situation and what happens when geopolitics stops feeling distant and starts arriving as supply chain disruptions, rising prices, fear, and renewed stories about enemies and allies. Nate walks through five questions that move from the practical to the interior. He begins with the gap between what is essential and what is merely familiar in modern life, asking listeners to identify what they depend on before scarcity makes the choice for them. From there, Nate turns inward to examine what the act of assigning blame actually does to our nervous systems and our capacity for response, and poses a larger geopolitical question about whether the collapse of U.S. global power would be net positive or net negative for the world. He then asks listeners to imagine their own town or community in 2050, and what actions they might take now with a few people around them. The episode closes with a reflection on fear as a force that narrows perception and collapses the potential for action, drawing on Frank Herbert's Dune and Nate's own honest response to watching a scenario he had long gamed out begin to move closer to reality. What fears about the future are quietly limiting your ability to act today, and which are actually helping you prepare? Is assigning blame increasing your capacity for meaningful action, or mostly giving shape to your distress? And if your future is going to become more local than you expect, what could you begin to do now with a few people in order to move toward the better end of the distribution?

The Bene Gesserit Sisterhood is the ancient, far‑reaching order at the heart of Sisterhood of Dune, and the novel draws heavily on Frank Herbert's extensive background notes about their origins, training, and long‑term genetic ambitions. Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson use those notes to explore the Sisterhood at a formative moment—eighty years after the Butlerian Jihad—when their identity, power, and purpose are still being forged. The novel explores the early development of the Bene Gesserit as one of the “Great Schools” emerging after the destruction of thinking machines. Alongside the Mentats, Suk doctors, and the nascent Spacing Guild, the Sisterhood is still defining its philosophy and political role. The anti‑technology Butlerian movement is rising, creating a volatile environment in which the Sisterhood must secure its place and protect its long‑term plans. SAVE 17% ON PLUS TODAY

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! In this grand finale of our 'Devouring Dune' series, we're discussing Frank Herbert's much-maligned & misunderstood final novel: Chapterhouse: Dune. Is the endless repetition of character resurrections and plot devices a sign of diminishing returns, or a lesson in pattern recognition that reveals the true ending of the series? Is the famously unresolved ending an indictment of the later sequels or a bittersweet commentary on the cynical nature of history and impossible narrative expectations?

What happens when science, imagination, and miles above the earth collide?In this episode, we sit down with Nicholas — creator of the Vitalerium Series, a science-fiction saga literally written at 36,000 feet. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, and trained through Northeastern University's Doctor of Physical Therapy Program, Nicholas followed a winding path through medical science, wound healing, burn treatment, and regenerative medicine—before answering the creative call he could no longer ignore.Spending years traveling the country to work alongside burn surgeons and survivors, Nicholas found inspiration in the quiet moments between destinations. Somewhere between takeoff and landing, the universe of Vitalerium was born. Drawing influence from science-fiction giants like Aldous Huxley, George Orwell, Frank Herbert, and Isaac Asimov, he crafted a story where science meets morality, and humanity's future hangs in the balance.In this conversation, we explore:• How a career in medical science shaped his storytelling• Writing a novel in the skies—literally• The intersection of science fiction, ethics, and humanity• The expansive vision behind a seven-book series• Crafting the journey of protagonist Roman MatthewsIf you love thought-provoking science fiction, behind-the-scenes author stories, and conversations that explore morality through imagination, this episode is for you.
