If you haven’t seen my previous videos on the Ixians and the Tleilaxu then you can find them in a playlist in the description of this video. In this video, we will discuss some of the ideas and philosophies that Frank Herbert attempted to explore with his creation of these two groups. To understand we have to go back thousands of years in the Dune Universe’s Timeline.

In the 10,000 years prior to the opening of Dune humankind had for the large part maintained the basic tenants of the Butlerian Jihad. Open use of computing technology carried significant social and legal consequences. The official punishment for those found to be in possession of, or to have constructed such technology is death. As a result various groups formed throughout the empire. New technologies were created to replace the jobs once done by AI. The most well-known and significant of these technological innovators in the Dune series are of course the Tleilaxu also known as the Bene Tleilax and the Ixians. Both groups blur the lines of what is generally thought to be accepted based on the teachings of the orange catholic bible, which came about after the Butlerian Jihad and has had significant influence over the course of humanity since. It stated “Thou Shalt Not Make a Machine in the Likeness of The Human mind” among other things.
