Only thing wrong here is its diet. They eat sand trout like whales eat krill. Sand trout burrow deep under the sand
-
honestly incredible how dune as a whole has become such a cultural phenomenon in 2024 when the original book was written even before starwars. such a rich story
-
Fantasy has dragons, science fiction has giant desert worms.
-
The books were always about human evolution. How our environment causes us to adapt. The sand worms and spice are sort of a cheat. They helped speed up our evolution. Dune and the worms made our bodies adapt. Spice was for our minds. In the books the Fremen were almost physically perfect. Their blood congealed faster. They were tireless. Perfect warriors.

Bless the Maker and his water.

I've truly enjoyed your videos and greatly appreciate you breaking down this sand worm for me.
-
They are Fungi. Mycelial networks are even made of tunes. It’s the Panspermia concept just adapted a bit.
-
Right from the beginning of Messiah I realized the Worms came from Ascended Masters. Even if the Guild began their biochemical cultivation of “spice technology” with more archaic practices…. It’s pretty blatant that “we are worms” kinda ties into Panspermia idea of Fungi creating all life on Earth. He even made the Spice the method of traversing space… just like Fungi travel in comets

Loved this!
-
Awesome subject. I just watched the new one the other day. I’ve only read the first book, so I’m not as steeped with arrakis lore as I am others. But it’s no less fascinating
-
More dune content please!
-
Dude, you did great job explaining Dune
-
Amazing overview of these great divine beasts. Your voice is so soothing yet so informative!
-
Please talk about the Bene Gesserit, The Voice, and more of Dune’s supernatural elements
-
Best video on this I've seen
-
Good stuff 👍
-
Amazing video. I really enjoyed it! Pleas can you tell me what music piece did you use from the 12.20 minute? It's beautiful
-
They would indeed need to be gods, as on a planet as arid as Arrakis / Dune, this large number of gigantic creatures would have no means of existing except as supernatural beings, or life beyond our definition.

Thank you so much!❤
-
I would love to hear more about the religious part of Dune, the prophecy of the Fremen etc
