An examination of Mentat logic and how the minds of Dune's Mentats work, how they are developed and how they are used to serve the powers of the Imperium. While it’s true that Mentats at their core all serve as human calculators, in reality they prove themselves to be much more than that. In fact, the most critical functions performed by the mentats who are employed across the known universe are in hypothesizing and formulating various strategies and tactics to be deployed in multiple avenues of society. They exercise their advanced cognitive abilities to advise the powers of the imperium in economic, diplomatic and military affairs. The Dune Enyclopedia also offers some fascinating thoughts on the development of these human computers.

This video features several of my own MidJourney AI generated art pieces.
