The Bene Gesserit are not religious (although they mimic a religious organization.) they are focussed on politics. This was mentioned in Dune and it came as a surprise when Paul revealed that knowledge.

All of these concepts about AI, decades before AI!š® Herbert was really something!

There is no "the future", only potential possibilities. And didn't the Bene G's begin on Rossak with Norma Cenva (who actually is the most important female character throughout the entire series, as she assists Tio Holzman, helps start the BG's on Rossak, starts the Guild Navs, helps start Venport-the forerunner of Choam. Kills Xerxes, and vanishes into another universe taking Omnius with her. Perhaps, SHE is the most important woman in Dune history , save only maybe for Jessica! š¤ššš¾

This novel is from the 1960s; it's more concerned with enlightenment, heightened senses. So "witches" (although used as a pejorative in text) is a misnomer.

Ultimate youtube irony: using AI to (very badly) voice a video about an organization created in the wake of a jihad waged specifically to rid the universe of AI. Anyone else find it hilarious that the AI can't pronounce "Butlerian"?

Fascinating witch concept

Soā¦are Frank Herbert fansā¦dunatics?

Bro heās repeating way too much man

Their whole order is predicated on preparing humans for the return of the thinking machines and to defeat them.

Where do these illustrations come from? Which graphic novel?

The main problem I have with how the Bene Gesserit are portrayed, is that no one in their right mind, would let those creepy witches anywhere near their leadership. If the Bene Gesserit were presented with a more nurturing and supportive persona, they won't be seen as a threat.
