The Jihad was the basis for the development of mentats, navigators, prescience, most of what the Bene Gesserit could do, etc.

Supremacist superhuman cults and objectification of humans are good and empowering according to you? Wow how nice. Also you forgot nice tleilaxan things like turning every woman into breeding tank or genetically engineered slaves. Prescience? Did you missed literally every book constantly saying “prescience bad”?

The spice became a cause of atrophy as well when people became reliant on it, but that’s consistent with the theme.

Yes it’s consistent with the theme of butlerian jihad atrophying humanity to the point of being hooked on barely understood space heroin. The atrophy and decay of human minds went so far barely anyone even thought about that.

Fuck the Great Convention obviously, but the Jihad was (mostly) good actually.

Jihad literally plunged humanity into millenia of slavery and serfdom. I find it absolutely wild that any leftist would support this.
