Dune Series PHD Episode 24 Liet Kynes The Judge of the Change and Planetary Ecologist
Channel: Doc Sloan's Science Fiction Station
Date: 2021-10-09

This brief video looks at how Liet Kynes is a hero to the Fremen, like his father before him. Once again this is the dangerous hero that Herbert is warning us about in the Dune series. For it is the Kynes family and their systemic approach to changing the ecological face of Arrakis, that ultimately brings about the doom of the Fremen.

This is the one character that Herbert meant to represent Western Man, and his systemic approach to all problems, but especially to ecology and the environment. It is the ecological dream of transforming Arrakis that gives the Atreides the religious tools to manipulate the Fremen, just like the Kynes family. 

This is our shortest episode, but there is more to come on Pardot and Liet Kynes and you'll find it in Episode 32.
