How hungry do we have to be before we start eyeing the golden calf not as idol - but as fodder?

That whole Soylent Green thing is blown out of proportion. Of course when we are living in space we will recycle everything.

Once we learn to recycle the recyclers we’ll be set for space.

Sure, we'd rather be a hammer than a nail if we only could.

Back to the metaphor about Moses bringing down the Commandments and finding his flock rebelling and following the Golden Calf because ♫🎶 The band ♫🎶 deemed the commandments too strict.

Let's cast The Blind Ass in the role of the Golden Calf and see how he lights the way: Obviously he is a revolutionary and no one is safe from him without locking their doors and living in fear.

So is this something that a simple wormer would settle? Thus placing the onerous duty of prevention upon the sufferer and concerned alike?

I’d like it if we had the worms of Arrakis here on earth...it might...spice things up a bit.

Dune could be D'Une (The One) making the book vaguely prophetic.
Who controls the spice?
Neo was the 'One' in the Matrix- NEO- anagram of ONE
The tagline, "There can be only one", Highlander Film suggests a constant flux in the position of 'one', indeed everything is geared (popular culture, personalities you meet) towards replacing the current one with another. And what is the constant in culture and The Blind Ass? Violence:
A line from Pink Floyd "Killing the past and coming back to life"
But it's not that, it's the word "No" (almost the opposite of "One")
You're an unassigned supportive element and in that principle I can't forbid you. Hey, you want to kill each other? Pshaww, I'm not going to stop you.

I bet Liet Kynes, the planetologist/ecologist of Arrakis, would have a thing or two to say about it!
Meanwhile, Muad'Dib already knows the answer & how it will all play out, and all of its infinite potentials & actualities.
