Superior human beings
currently enjoying
I am reading this right now
http://www.nutang.com/numazon/0765340771/The+Butlerian+Jihad+%28Legends+of+Dune%2C+Book+1%29/
I would have provided you an image if I could but The thingy is broken (as usual)

I am actually not enjoying this book. It's very predictable and I can't relate to charecters this stupid. I enjoyed the Origianl dune and Dune Messiaha, but the charecters in Jihad are very shallow, uncomplicated and predictable, Unlike the dynamic and stirring charecters in Herbert Seniors work. Jihad also lacks the subtley, intracasy and detailed ambiance of the Seniors work.

What I am enjoying is reading about the "thinking machines" empire.
Machines can be creative btw. Here is an interesting link that I'm sure will be required reading when our machine overlords rest control of the planet from us.

Otherwise I can't really, with a good heart, reccomend this book. It's just too dumb.Herbert Junior should have spent a little more time on this one. But hey it's here and features creepy robots and cyborgs so I shant complain.
thoughts
I like strategey games especially ones where I can drop my troops to any position on the globe from orbit. And especially when I'm the only one with the technology to do it. And of courses, I Usually keep a strangle hold on this technology because I'm bombarding the hell out of everyone else. Thats right folks, I'm a fan of planatery conquest and invasion. I like working my way down penisulas, and literally driving my enemys into the sea with firepower at least two hundred years ahead of anyone elses. If I need help I will give one of my neighbors usefull technology so they can watch my back while I concentrate on keeping the fight going.

a spade was never really a spade, was it?

We went over to the master's house, and while we drank some very smooth Jamacan Rum and Cola he told us that we might see the fall of our civilization within our lifetime. It was depressing. He said there was nothing he could do to stop it, it would take such a consitrated effort to turn things around that destruction was inevatable. Our industrial cacpacity has been undermined, our research and development ability will atrophy soon and Sophistry has overtaken us once again, as it did so many thousands of years ago in Greece.
We all know what happened to Greece after the Sophist took over the schools there.

It was depressing to see my calculations, projections and theories come to life and wreak the destruction I knew they would be capable of all along.

They (the sophist) say there is no wrong or right... just diffrent, but I say thats dodgeing responsibility. People should take respoinsibility for their own actions and I say the loss of life is wrong, the destruction of an entire civilization is wrong. Tell me that there are just shades of grey again and I will ask you to tell me that the mind of a sociopath, who only seeks gratification at all cost, is just diffrent, and when you do I will strike you becase apparently you never grew up. Your about to lose your civilization and your argueing semantics!
There isn't any time to marginalize things, your under seige from within and without call out your enemies and fight them before it's to late.

Their is always a gray area.... Its just that people always try to pick out the whites and blacks that make the gray, because thats all they see instead..... Don't worry we will be dead before we see it fall.... : ) Unless the fall happens before you are 27.... : )
