[QUOTE="Jhamin, post: 3539996, member: 1023"] And as I understand it, Leto's plan was something like: - Create a version of humanity that can use prescience without being trapped by it - Force humanity to grow socially to the next level. Existing political traditions were keeping the old forms alive well past when they should have died. - Spread humanity beyond the old imperium. - Re-mix the DNA of humanity. Also to avoid stagnation. He had seen that the Jihyad his father had launched produced a new and vibrant human species, which then stagnated as everyone settled down. He planned to "fermet" the genome for a few thousand years under his rule, then allow the pot to stir again after his assassination. A lot of the pescient people who showed up later discovered that the only future they could see was the one Leto II had set up. This should only have been possible if he was still actively seeing the future. It was then that someone realized that all living sandworms are descended from the ones that broke off of Leto II at the end of God Emperor, and are probably empowered with his vision. Which is why they nuked Dune to glass. They hoped to end his influence. But unfortunatly they couldn't know if [I]that [/I] was part of his plan as well.. [/QUOTE]
