I love Lynch's Dune. Saw it on release. At the time I remarked that they'd need three movies to do justice to it. I was pretty much correct.

As for President Trump, he's not us. What he has done is to reveal shocking levels of corruption in institutions we previously regarded as respectable or neutral. He is a pivot point we rally around because we benefit from each other more than we do him. My favorite thing is that he makes my enemies cry. He may not crush our enemies as much as we may want that, but he'll at least make them squeal like pigs.

By the way, I hope everyone is prepared for whatever the near future may bring. I don't expect it to be pleasant.

"As it turns out, propping up the unnatural takes a great deal of effort and other people’s money. Perhaps more intangibly, it takes a great deal of spiritual energy, and who could say that our enemies have that in abundance?"

I realized this at a young age and was always perplexed at the Boomers insistence of the inevitable ascendancy of the anti-humans. To be in line with nature is to inevitably win. Billions must realize.
