The only thing that is sad; earthworms are yet *another* vital cog in the ecosystem... And when it rains, they come up and many die in gutters and concrete they crawl upon and cannot find dirt again. Obv this is good for the Early Birds, but the worms are important for the soil.. (one thing humans havent really paid attention/cared about is what the blankets of concrete do to kill a healthy soil in an area... --- Also, I am surpised nobody mentioned ▶ this video <<-- The whole premise of DUNE
Fun fact: that dancer in front at the beginning of this video-striped shirt, mustache, glasses-is Spike Jonez. He directed this music video. And the excellent video for Weapon of Choice by the same artist ( ▶ this video ), as well as Sabotage by The Beastie Boys, and the excellent mind-fuck movies Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, and Her (which he also wrote and won a Best Original Screenplay Oscar for). It’s funny watching a contemporary creative genius just kinda goof around.
> Catchphrases from the book have not entered the language. The spice must flow? Fear is the mind killer? Christopher Walken dancing to Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice" includes the phrase "Walk without a rhythm, you won't attract the worm". ▶ this video Maybe to a lesser extent, "He who controls the spice controls the universe", "wheels within wheels", and the gom jabbar are all things I've heard people reference. It's definitely entered the language. Maybe not as deeply as Star Wars, but it's not absent either.
