That seems like too literal of a reading? Dune was very much about current events told through allegory, not a warning for the future.

Techne without episteme, that’s things like corporations, capitalism, technocratic government etc. They don’t run on computers inside humanoid robots, but they’re made out of rules to achieve a goal and reduce humans to tools to enact those rules. Close enough if you’re writing a story.

So it’s pro-subscription activism? Hmm ok

“Survival of the fittest” is about a species, not an individual. For larger animals pain and pleasure are the greatest teachers, because we can learn from those. These species benefit from individuals learning survival skills. Insects have no use for it, they don’t learn to adapt, they survive through numbers, their behavior adapts through evolution.

They react to damage the same way plants do. If you want to call that pain, sure. It doesn’t make sense evolutionary that they would suffer from it though.

And we know it’s not inherent to life. Even some people are born without nociceptors because of genetic issues. Not-suffering is a big problem, kids get infections etc because they don’t learn to stop hurting themselves.

Nature is very cruel, but not so evil to evolve suffering in animals who don’t have the capacity to learn from it.
