                Profoundly moronic statement. Anarchism came about from left wing revolutions against the upper class. So did anti establishment ideals.

                The original plan was to have his kid be prescient. The kid would have seen the golden path and would have don't just as Leto II did; all Paul did was start the jihad and unification. It's kinda crazy you see the inevitability of needing the jihad and the golden path only because of Paul. The difference would have been 20 extra years, maybe, before a jihad compared to 10,000 years or eugenics to get him.

                The more destructive path in question is the stagnation of humanity in the bounds of a sphere that is controllable by a single institution (ie the empire and known space). This opens humanity open to being wiped out by a single event, ruler, or organization.
                Paul dying doesn't guarantee that happening but it also does nothing to avoid it.
                The Fremen going full religion of peace is just an aspect of the grand plan that Paul wanted to avoid (and failed to), not the destructive event per se

          See now you're just projecting your own cynicism onto Paul.
          He canonically adores Fremen culture. He sees the fremen as his saviours. When he loses his sight he uses his clairvoyance to see but eventually gives up and voluntarily self exiles which all blind firemen do.

            He's a gay pedo (redundant, I know) in the book. They showed that in the Lynch movie, but they probably didn't want to upset gays, so they cut that out in the new movie.
            The problem is that, since they cut it, now that scene just comes out of nowhere. It would make sense if it was established beforehand that he was like that.

        what does their armageddon entails btw?

        I've been re-reading dune lately (havent touched this book in quite a while) and there's this fascinating paragraph that i completely forgot

        > "He remained silent, thinking like the seed he was, thinking with the race consciousness he had first experienced as terrible purpose. He found that he no longer could hate the Bene Gesserit or the Emperor or even the Harkonnens. They were all caught up in the need of their race to renew its scattered inheritance, to cross and mingle and infuse their bloodlines in a great new pooling of genes. And the race knew only one sure way for this - the ancient way, the tried and certain way that rolled over everything in its path: jihad"

        The jihad is in fact a solution for the stagnation of our culture. They want to destroy the weak and mingle the genes of the strong ones. These hollywood gays are so weak they are afraid to explain why the holy war is being pushed as a solution for humanity's problems.

          Only Paul has the level of consciousness to see this big picture situation. Others may be catching a feeling of a bare intuition, but Paul can see it clearly. He has become the single man with sight leading the mass of the blind. Ad not the kind of blind that once had sight and no longer, but the kind that have never seen at all.

            Imagine a white stacey thinking she's a Buddhist because she likes the idea of Karma and reincarnation.
            What happened in Rome was the exact same shit. Some Roman Staceys thought Mythra and greek myth were too masculine. They thought Christianity was quirky, of course they filtered and added some white girl spice. Early Christianity to Roman girls was the same as today's horoscope hoes.

            I'm not exaggerating, look up how many men were converted because a b***h they wanted to frick was "christian".
            Only until the ideas of Christ got big enough that they needed to make a meeting so autists could debate and put it to writing. The Council of Nicea is one of the most interesting moments in history. They literally sat down, debated theology, philosophy and morality, and wrote a religion to appeal to everyone, one that would possess superior ethics and life lessons.

            Now islam is a different story. Mohammad didn't read any of that shit, he heard of it but he was just a desert cultist. He just made the equivalent to mormonism so he could make an army and frick a bunch of wives. He made it up as he went along.

      It's an exercise in Bene Gesserit powers. It requires complete control over the chemical processes inside of your body in order to transmute the water from deadly poison to the mind altering "harmless" drug.
      When Paul converts the drug he awakens as Kwisatz Haderach and can see the memories of all female and male ancestors as well as get a more clear vision of possible futures.

      Chani and Jessica assume he is stuck trying to convert the drug and are trying to feed him the solution, but Paul had already figured it out on his own. Getting fed some more water of life helped him find himself back to reality.

              Not even close to a coincidence. Agents of the Benejizzonherbreasts planted both the religious forms and mythology into the culture, as they knew the source of spice would be a pivotal piece in their long game. The wise women among the fremen are direct descendants of some of these agents carrying on their religious rituals largely unchanged.

    Imagine being Armie in that scene and having to be all like "damn, Timothée, you frickin' fine, all sexy with your anorexic body and horrific androgynous israeli face. I would totally have sex with you, both my character and the real me." when all he really wants to do is frick another 16 year old in his dressing room. Like seriously imagine having to be Armie and not only sit in that chair while Timothée Chalamet, flaunts his disgusting body in front of you, the favorable lighting barely concealing his rib cage and bonely israelite nose, and just sit there, take after take, hour after hour, while he came in that peach. Not only having to tolerate his monstrous fricking visage but his haughty attitude as everyone on set tells him he's ALREADY GOT IT and DAMN, TIMOTHÉE CHALAMET LOOKS LIKE *THAT*?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch his skinny fricking gollum face contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been fricking nothing but a healthy diet of blondes and supermodels and later alleged rape victims for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the boonies in Santa Monica. You've never even seen anything this fricking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out on his foot as he sticks it to your face to writhe it suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to sit there and revel in his "twinktastic (for that is what he calls himself)" beauty, the beauty he worked so hard for with personal trainers in the previous months. And then the director calls for another take, and you know you could eat every single person in this room before the studio security could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're fricking Armie. You're not going to lose your future Hollywood career over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.

    >And the old woman had waved Jessica to silence, looked down at Paul. "Grave this on your memory, lad: A world is supported by four things . . . " She held up four big-knuckled fingers. ". . . the learning of the wise, the justice of the great, the prayers of the righteous and the valor of the brave. But all of these are as nothing . . . " She closed her fingers into a fist. ". . . without a ruler who knows the art of ruling. Make that the science of your tradition!"

    and His personal favorite
    >the Son of Man

    when you are creating a messianic character for fiction, you pattern how he is based on the real world Messianic figure, who has a lot of titles throughout the bible.
    and not only Him, His opponent also has a lot of titles

    >Lucifer
    >the Dragon
    >the serpent
    >Satan
    >the morning star
    >the Devil
    and his agent on Earth, the Antichrist, also has a lot of titles
    >the Assyrian
    >the King of Babylon
    >the Prince who is to come
    >the Beast
    >the Son of Perdition
    >the Man of Sin
    >the Worthless Shepherd
    >the Little Horn
    >the Vile Man
    >the King of Fierce Countenance
    >the Antichrist
    >Gog of Magog

    so I find creating that many titles for Paul appropriate, because it's patterned after religious Messianic, and Anti-Messianic figures.
    Robert Jordan did the same thing with Rand al Thor in Wheel of Time, referring to him as "the Dragon" and "the Lord of the Morning", the Car a Carn (Chief of Chiefs), He who comes with the dawn, the Coramoor, Shadowkiller, First Among the Servants, and his previous incarnation, Kinslayer.

    in Wheel of Time and Dune part of the reason why this is done is because these are tittles from different cultures.

      Mr Beast confirmed antichrist

        Anonymous

        well to be fair, the reason why he's referred to as "the little horn" is because he starts out as a nobody, like a sudden up and comer.. People looking at presidents and kings as possible antichrist figures don't know the bible which says Antichrist will be a nobody who illegitimately takes power through flattery and being appointed by 10 other kings even though he doesn't have the right to rule.

        so he's gonna come out of left field. Might as well be Mr Beast.

        well, I mean, those are all references given in the bible for the same person in the bible.

        like.. see this

        Revelation 19
        >7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
        >8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
        >9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
        >10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
        >11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
        >12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
        >13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
        >14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
        >15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
        >16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.

        that there.. the name Jesus, the Lamb (capital L), a reference to Him as the Groomsman, Faithful and True, the Word of God, King of Kings and Lord of Lords... and a name that only He knows
        so 7 names for Jesus in 1 passage.
        and you know the bible really likes the number 7.
