Book cover for Mentats of Dune (Schools of Dune #2)
Blind adherence to foolish ideas makes people act in ways that are demonstrably against their own interests. I care only about intelligent, rational human beings.

“In truth, no matter what we think we know, we are probably wrong, and no matter what anyone else thinks they know, they are probably wrong.”
Robert Pantano, The Art of Living a Meaningless Existence: Ideas from Philosophy That Change the Way You Think

Frank Herbert
“Technology, in common with many other activities, tends toward avoidance of risks by investors. Uncertainty is ruled out if possible. Capital investment follows this rule, since people generally prefer the predictable. Few recognize how destructive this can be, how it imposes severe limits on variability and thus makes whole populations fatally vulnerable to the shocking ways our universe can throw the dice.”
Frank Herbert, Heretics of Dune
