I liked Frank Herbert's "The Green Brain" back in the 60s. "Dune" not so
much.

Interesting that you appear oddly to mirror Anthony in the powerlessness of
our ceaseless mobilization of everything, arbitrarily, as inventory... As if
awareness of that ontological power weren't enough for glimmers of working
thru it.

I think Turbulence drags this 'curse' out creatively, and empty protest
holds an Open open.  I also think Michael E's concepts of Gewinnst and Gewer
offer approaches that formidably and flexibly address wha'sup.

but, yer pro'ly rite, a god would be handy...
