A few corrections regarding lore: -The people of Dune don't live just 10.000 years into the future. It's 10.000 A.G., which means after the Spacing Guild acquired its monopoly over Interstellar Travel around 11.000 A.D. Dune takes place more than 20.000 years into the future. -Paul also can't see into the future in the classical sense. He just has all memories of all people who ever lived and can calculate the most probable outcome for any situation based on every scenario that ever happened.
I read Dune ( Messiah, Children of, back-to-back-to-back) when I was in my teens 16/17 years old. It blew me away, still one of my favourite series of books. The idea about ancestral memories intrigued & challenged me the most. (Have subsequently learnt Jung got there first). Nevertheless, we all value our individuality, but the information we carry in on our genes begs the question just how different are we from our immediate family & ancestors. Sure, physically, we are unique & each generation faces challenges of their time, but are the responses & actions any different from responses/actions our forebearers. I personally feel my thoughts and actions are mere extensions of my ancestors. So, I believe I'm an accumulation of identity tethered to an unbroken chain that resonates back through time, a paradoxical feeling of fear & reassurance.
“There is probably no more terrible instant of enlightenment than the one in which you discover your father is a man - with human flesh.” ― Frank Herbert, Dune I'm super stoked the movies that have come out have managed to capture the essence of book that feels almost impossible to film. I'm even more stoked that you made a youtube video essay that managed to capture the philosophical essence of a fiction book (my favorite fiction book) that contains some of the deepest and most eternally applicable questions about exactly what it means to be human. Well done man & I really hope this encourages more people to pick up the book.
I like that line that Jamis has where he's talking to Paul in on pf his visions "Life isn't a problem to solve; it's an experience to be had" or something like that. Genuinely inciteful and ive also thought of that same exact thing which made it resonate with me
The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience. A process that cannot be understood by stopping it. We must move with the flow of the process. We must join it. We must flow with it. It's paraphrased from the book, but I think it goes even further back from other philosophers, possibly Zen since Herbert was very close to that.
I like this type of video by you. I am a huge Dune fan and have read I believe all the novels in the series. There is so much more to it than even you describe. Would love to have a conversation about it sometime.
seeing this side of the movie made me wanna watch it again but this time looking at it from this perspective, trying to realize and understand it deeply. i really appreciate this video man i loved itttt
Small correction, but Dune does not take place 10,000 years in the future. Dune takes place in the year 10191 AG, AG standing for "After Guild", when the Guild was established and controlled space travel. Based on the Dune wiki, the events of the Dune saga takes place 25,000-30,000 years after our current time. Excellent video though. "The mystery of life is not a problem to solve, but a reality to experience" - Muad'Dib
"The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience. Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic." - Frank Herbert, Creator of Dune
Love & Gratitude brotha. I've been around you and your own personal growth & evolution for a while through your YT creattion/vids. Stay AWEOSOME! You are not alone. 🤟😎❤🔥
I really love this video. And yes, I am extremely interested in you doing more videos analysing philosophies of film, books and video games :) Good films to look at are: Network American Beauty
U should get the bool 10 laws of power ! its a philosophy book on how to "be closer to your enemy" or how to use people in a way that would benefit u. 100% recommend, a video on it would be really good ! keep the good work, I foloowo since ur 130K subs
The Matrix is really an extrapolated version where physics splits to different ideals. Where Modernism and Post-Modernism divide. How can you prove a reality exist when you can never provide test with enough energy to verify your theories. I assume this is a good starting point to it.
something i have gathered from the beliefs of my religion, is that we believe that everyone has a pre-ordained destiny, but it is our choice to rise to it or not, it is up to our free agency if we become something glorious, like God wants, or not. a note, man cannot frustrate the work of God, man can only frustrate the work of man.
Here is an other one, just for fun, even if no one reads it.... When you look back in time (or as he does forwards), regrettable events start to take place.
I don't think Paul got to choose between "continuing the path towards suffering, or ending it and end the human race". I believe this is more of a Leto II choice. Paul's choice is mostly between his own death and moving towards Holy War and humanity suffering - he navigates the possible futures trying to optimize the chances of survival for him and his loved ones.
dune really is something more than just another mpvies. You can apply this to a lot of things in life. Everything has some kind of philosphical aspect in life. Everything.
To ask what we offer the universe is to assume that the universe cares what we offer. If humanity's will is to survive, that is the priority until the universe shows us that its will (if such a thing could exist) is more important than our own.
Topic suggestion: The philosophy of "NO LONGER HUMAN" - by osamu dazai. I already watch a lot of reviews and such but I want to hear your thoughts on it.
The video really makes you think. When we focus excessively on the future, we risk neglecting the present moment. Finding a balance between the two is essential.
There is of course a lot more to discuss regarding Dune regarding Philosophy. We could discuss the morality of Technology as a crutch, as much as a benefit. There is also the theme of an inability to control ALL DETAIL, even when thefuture is provided to us. The morality and review of cloning, and what constitutes the definition of a man. An d there is probably more i cannot think about at this time. However, I feel the driving main force was discussed in this video. Remember to uses some book key phrases to describe your argument in the video. I feel you could probably find great philosophical discussion from Series such as Foundations, The Expanse, and Three Body Problem novels! Hope you get to perform a video on those one day!
Love this style. If you ever heard of this Chinese donghua, called Link Click. Episode 4 & 5 specifically begs the hypothetical question to "What if you went back in time to see your dad die from 9/11 again?" You can't or shouldn't stop it since it's already history, even if ever fiber of your body tells you too.
Not true, it’s a matter of choosing to be responsible for yourself selfishly or other selflessly. If you live for others what are you willing to sacrifice to achieve the necessary power to safeguard or empower your designated community by any means necessary? Of course you can just pursue peaceful mundane existence, allowing your environment to function without major inputs from yourself. Then there’s the 3rd option where you pursue power for your o wn selfish reasons without any restrictions from external forces beyond them being the means to the end of your own accumulation of power and privilege. Free to do as you please, regardless of anyone else ability to stop you from doing what you desire. Of course one may choose balance of each however one must choose a majority, even if by 1%. Life is not defined by solution only trade offs. How do you choose to respond to the factors instigated by those who exist in the present and the past? How will you adapt to the unseen order of cause and effect? Are you willing take away others privileges for your own personal gain? Do you possess the willpower and resourcefulness to rise above your weakness in the pursuit of strength? Are you willing to go to war with the world, if necessary in the pursuit of a dream that you hold so dearly to your heart? Are you capable of accepting the cruel brutal realities of God’s universe, that all living beings must participate in to carve out an existence? Will you create your own purpose, or will you adopt a pre-established purpose? What skills and knowledge will you accumulate in your pursuit for the right to exist?
@@S_Warden did you know you were going to be born? Did you know you were going to live this long? Did you know you were going to lose something or someone precious to you? Did you know that one step could take you to the right path or the bad one? Yes, you do have to be responsible for your actions. We have little to no control over most of the things in our lives. That makes it unpredictable.
I think you should make videos about book it would be better suited because most of these movies are hypothetical while books are more realistic(when i say books i mean those with actual meaning not those fantasy novels ).
predestination is usually considered to be set forth by some higher being or force before we are even born. for instance, in "Mormonism" it is said God set forth a preordained plan for each of his children (preordaination is a form of predestination), but it is also said that we have free agency to choose if we will take the plan and become truly the best version of ourselves or not. in Calvinism, God made a predestined plan before any human was made, such as what we will do in life, and where we will go after. predestination can vary from religion to philosophy or whatever your belief system is.
I thought you will talk about Leto II since 3rd and 4th book are more philosophical than others but getting the philosophical view of paul is also good.
is humanity really worth while the saving, when everything has to come to an end eventually ? we innovate, but does it benefit the universe or just our self interest. ?
There is destiny in the sense that some things happen independently of your actions. But precisely because of your actions you may be favored by destiny. For exemple, in Netherlands, the dikes and the dams allowed for a destiny otherwise impossible.

1:12 They live over 20,000 years in the future. It's over 10,000 years since the Butlerian Jihad
And I think it's after the guild created travel,which is sometime after the jihad. Yea that statement in the video inflamed my Dune geekness
@@quentinfool the butlerian jihad happened around 200 years before the creation of the guild
Which is why it’s AG (after guild) and BG (before guild) not BBJ (before butlerian jihad) and ABJ (after butlerian jihad)
