The Super Powers of Dune The Possibility of 'Extraordinary' Human Development

Latest on What Lies Beyond: The Super Powers of Dune. What if the ‘superpowers’ depicted in Dune were real? Would this be a good or bad thing? A speculative article on ‘extraordinary human abilities’ as Science Fiction and as possible fact.

I'm afraid it's liable to spread to the UK. I'm seeing a lot of support for Reform UK in my neck of the woods.

Reading a utopia almost feels like an act of defiance today. Somehow managed to have missed reading this one before. A thought for the hive mind: would a podcast on utopias be of interest? I think there's a desperate need to think about more positive possibilities for society today.....

Look at Labour’s acts of environmental vandalism and ask: did I vote for this? | George Monbiot Our rivers, our wildlife, the air we breathe: the government is sacrificing all to the insatiable god of GDP – and mocking our objections, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

In my column today I argue that, unbelievably, Labour are worse on environmental issues than the Conservatives.

You may well be right, sadly. Although this must include an almost superhuman ability not to see what's before their very eyes (extreme weather events like LA burning etc.) What an indightment of our Parliamentary system and our political/economic philosophies.

Thing that gets me Bill is that they MUST know how dangerous climate breakdown will be/already is. For a start, the MOD has climate breakdown as a high security risk. They must also know about fragile supply chains etc. So they're willfully damning us and their own kids for short term gain.
