"At their worst, the Great Houses represented arrogance, privilege, selfishness, greed, lust for power, repression, military adventurism, political machination, and a blatant disregard for those they had to protect and govern." Same story across all of history, ancient times to modern times. Why should human nations behave differently in future times?
@@Hwje1111 The empire was designed to be stable, and the various great Houses (and Emperor) made sure anyone with the ability and desire to rock the boat was removed. Easiest is to take away their desire by making them part of the Imperial system, so keeping the system stable is in the disrupter's interest (turning an enemy into an ally). Second is to remove their ability to make changes, either by killing the individual(s), destroying then economically, or destroying them militarily. Spacing Guild being the only long-distance FTL means that if the planet starts to cause problems the Spacing Guild can just cut off FTL access. The Spacing Guild can then use its own limited precognition to determine when a good time to restart the access is good.
@Lassi Kinnunen The writer of Dune believed that certain family's would consolidate so much wealth that most governments and corporations would disappear and these families would become the new royal families. These extended families which hoard all the wealth and power were called Houses. Part of the reason they are called Houses instead of families is because you can marry into the family while still keeping your last name but your loyalty would be to the House an not your birth family. Or because you possessed a valuable skill an the House adopts you into it. You will forever be known as not being of the royal-blood line but you are part of the House. I made the pool question as a joke because the computer that controls TH-cam will place a video in more peoples suggestions the more "like" and comments a video gets in its first few hours. So not being a witty or funny person I will make a quick, usually none sense comment for the sole purpose of helping out a content creator I enjoy. On rare occasions I actually manage to say something funny. Now since I am not a teacher or a good conversationalist if anything I said did not make sense feel free to ask any question because I guarantee you if anything I said is not clear it is because I did not explain it right.
A Great House, Harkonnen. Or a new topic giving a report on the home planets of the Great Houses, the social structure, the environment? I read Harkonnen books and it explains alot of the living conditions of the obsidian stone mining planet, and the human hell enured by the slaves.
Short and to the point👍👍 I'm of the opinion that option "A" is the better of the three...good segue without the focused details inherent to the other two subjects. Thanks...great stuff
The plan of financial independence is great, but I don't think I'll want to give up working haha, maybe I'm a workaholic. However, I would like to have an investment portfolio that generates an income stream to give me the choice to be free to travel around the world, idealistic I know... it's the idea that matters. 😎

Humans will still be humans :)
How the heck did the empire last for 10 millennia in such circumstances?
