A Feint Within A Feint, Within A Feint: Destiny and Deception in Dune ~ Guests Talk 15

In this discussion, we dive into the layered deceptions of Dune — a “feint within a feint within a feint.” We explore whether free will can survive foreknowledge, how cycles shape history, and whether heroes are truly liberators… or traps. We also ask a bold question: is religion a belief system, or a technology engineered for power?My guests: K.D. Marchesi, Sarah K. Balstrup, and Henry Nielsen.My Substack: https://liviajelliot.substack.com
