Dune: Kralizec, Leto's Plan, The End of The Universe

"Ask your doctor if Kralizec is right for you."

I honestly haven't found another YouTuber who approaches science fiction and its ideas as seriously and expertly as you. Bravo once again.

Kralizek feels like a myth version of the great filter hypothesis

It's a common misconception that Ragnarök is the end of the world. It's meant to be the end of an order and the beginning of another. It's really a death and rebirth story.

The dune universe is mind bogglingly rich and is matched only by your enthusiasm for it. I love these breakdowns. Thank you 👍

There's an interview in which Herbert talks about a student in a lecture who said the idea to control other people's thoughts and emotions with words sound silly, and he gave a quite funny example of how everyone can do it very easily to a limited extend.
You don't need to know much about a person to make them furious in just one sentence.

The strongest place for any civilization to live is right at the edge of darkness.
Not within it, lest they be consumed by it--nor too far from it, less they forget
it's existence. We must live close enough to the darkness to see it, to smell it,
and above all to ensure our children understand what it is, and not mistake it for
light.

Many people will survive Kralizec by buying large quantities of toilet paper.

Leto II was preparing humanity to survive it's Greatest Enemy, humanity itself.

My roommate says: 'why most def is talking about dune?!?' ... 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

I loved the relaxing spa music as we contemplate total annihilation.

Watching your videos is like seeing mini documentaries. The reverence you have for the mythological aspects, both real and fictional make these so awesome to see when you upload. Thanks!

I also loved how Arrival combined the Korzybski / Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis with Lagrangian mechanics.

the sapir-whorf linguistic theory is really interesting! and the movie Arrival does a great job exploring it.

Quinn, your videos inspired me to reread the Dune saga. I first read it in Jr. High back in the mid-70's. I think this is my 5th read through now. Having watched your videos I've been able to better understand the tale as FH put it forward. Thank you, the enjoyment I get from reading them again is immensely increased.

With respect, Maitreya Buddha does not “bring on the end of the world.” Maitreya Buddha actually revives the Buddhist teachings after they have faded away. This is called the “re-turning of the Wheel of Dharma.” So Maitreya Buddha actually facilitates a continuance, not an extinction. I deeply appreciate the care and enthusiasm that is evidenced in your presentations. I consider Dune as having helped lead me to the Buddhist path. If I may stray from the original books a bit, may Buddallah bless you and your efforts. 🙏🏼

What I liked Most in The Three Body Problem and following books is how the kind of Typhoon struggle to come gets complicated with changing politics, ethics and timescales which all feel well developed. The Dark Forest Theory is fairly terrifying too.

You are one of the few YouTubers I actually enjoy enough to leave a like and interact as much as possible. Your deserve the highest accolades for breaking down so many plot points of the Dune and other science fiction lore. Thank you for your service to the sci-fi literary community.

I discovered Quinn two weeks ago and I’ve been hooked since.

Please do guides for all the expanded works, as someone that has read the books your abridgement allows me to see the entire story within an hour long package.

Your video and the way you tell the story is better than a lot of audio books I’ve listened to. You are riveting, knowledgeable and your storytelling superb. Kudos man.
