Why can ' t you ? <| sep |> Coming from someone with about 300 k karma , I appreciate your kind words . I ' m glad you enjoyed it and yes our housing market is ridiculous . For 180200 k you can get a 34 bedroom 2 story house ~ 2000 sq ft . here ! We ' re very friendly and welcoming here ! !<| sep |> I have played Rockband off on since the beginning . Admittedly I started because my kids were desperate for a singer , otherwise mom would not have made the band . Lol . At 47 , I often wonder how many other ' old folks ' are playing RB . <| sep |> Oi , it ' s Latin , stop making fun . <| sep |> 3 . 6 k tickets and the lowkey gf flex . I see you OP , you think you ' re better than us ? <| sep |> That ' s the way the religion of Muad ' Dib preaches it . There is also how the Bene Gesserit would secretly interpret it , which is more science fiction Paul looks at probablility and the spice can be seen as making him like a statistician on a combo of adderall and LSD . The Space Guild Navigators do the same drug for a similar effect to help guide their ships across the universe . Paul is training to be a mentat a human computer before he becomes Muad ' Dib . That Herbert was inspired by the newly discovered psychedelic drugs and culture of the ' 60 s in writing about the spice makes it seem even more clearly like science fiction to me than magic . People were discovering new territory and power in their own minds , unlocked by drugs . Seems like magic shaman mysticism , and some peoples have used such drugs that way for centuries , but it ' s real world laboratory medical science . He was reacting to and writing about the times .
