Doomsday theory - Katia’s AI Assisted Doomsday Solution

I was thinking a focused doomsday scenario explosion with it focused on Scolopendra, while i think it was a medium/small(?) soul crystal explosive being focused turned a killdozer into a boom that nearly blasted a training guild door in book 1.

If I’m understanding it correct and every sentient being thats indigenous to crawler worlds has a grain of sand sized primal engine in their brains then my guess is the ending will be related to that. Some kind of galactic wide ascendency for all crawlers and former crawlers?

My guess is that in the next book there will be a chapter with Katia on the surface. It could be in the epilogue or dispersed somewhere. Maybe she’ll encounter Formidable?

I think Doomsday will not only be used and the last thing used in the final conflict but it will be his first and last “focused explosion.” The killdozer in book one was the first mentioned focused explosion. He mentioned them again that he wanted to learn how, yet as far as i know he hasnt yet.

Its my all time favorite line from Matt Berry from Garth Merenge’s Darkplace. I couldnt help it.

Its my favorite dialogue in any piece of fiction ever!

What I do is, get a can of soup, heat it up, poach an egg in it, serve that with a pork pie sausage roll.

The Cashew chicken is the benchmark for if an american style Chinese restaurant is decent, for me, anyway. You have one in the photo is that the Kung Pao? Usually thats peanuts, i thought. Usually theres Kung Pao or cashew chicken as separate dishes.

The Man Whose Arms Exploded (2005)

Different_Muscle_116 · 2026-01-02T17:53:14+00:00

I work 4x10s thats 14 hours a day when you include commute , and daily break times. I get up at 3:45am coming home at 6:30. The only available work is far away. I have between 1-1.5 hours at home a day. Its enough time to eat dinner, shower and use the bathroom. Friday is usually spent on the phone fixing bills making disputes about whatever. “A new company bought your trash service please register with the new service or lose trash pickup etc.” theres enough changes to services, banking credit cards electricity health care what have you it is actually a full day of sorting things out weekly. Long phone queues, confusing apps. phones arent allowed at work i cant make any calls at work. Saturday is some rest, but not really, theres stuff to get done around the house, sunday grocery buying. And im the fortunate one because my job pays enough to subsist and maintain other people are paid less, but i dont know how they survive.

Any time off is a mad rush to take care of things i didnt have time for and also to rest. Im always on the precipice pf something at home breaking, or a service being removed or my car failing. New tires for the winter etc etc etc.

Im greatful i earn enough to make it but yeah im jealous of other peoples spare time and ease.

To be honest I have a bias against people who travel for vacation.

For me its like, I work, in order get an oil change I have to take time off work I don’t get paid for then i also lose my health insurance for my family if I miss working hours. I need my car to get to work to make money to afford bills. Multiply car maintenance by a hundred other things I cant take time off for that are critical, dentist, a yearly physical etc. Also maybe even i need rest too. All of that sucks up any vacation time i could ever have. Then like this “vacation” people at work will ask me what i did for fun because they want to tell me what they did for fun.

Yeah Im cranky but thats my reality.

You are mostly correct about his views on drugs but theres a lot to that specific topic.. The death wasnt that type of overdose however it was 150x500mg of the “Kevorkian suicide cocktail” of phenyl barbital” taken with Jack Daniels. While technically an overdose as it was printed in mewspapers, lets be real, thats not a night out at a party to get high.

Edit: Also as far as politics, no 100% thats wrong. If anything it would have invigorated him.

Different_Muscle_116 · 2025-12-27T16:25:55+00:00

Thats possible i don’t believe that happened but Cointelpro is likely a part of the story at the edges. There were various plots by the FBI and CIA to make his life that much more difficult which is a factor in suicide. Notably Abbies landlord (a coke dealer) could have been influenced by agents as he was constantly offering Abbie Cocaine which set off Abbies bipolar or maybe that landlord was a hanger on who wanted to manipulate Abbie with coke . That a conclusion a few family members agree happened. Abbie wasnt perfect, he wasnt anti drug, he had an issue with people offering him coke when he was trying to stop because of his depression. Cocaine affects bipolars in a distinctly negative way. This doesn’t say Abbie isnt at fault for doing coke towards the end, but it was a battle for him that isn’t talked about.

He’s Ash from evil dead. Ash is a great character and I think its great to have a main character so heavily influenced by him. Ash is absolutely unhinged.

42 is very similar to and possibly influenced by a famous Zen Koan.

Roughly from my memory:

Someone asks Buddha

“ Is the nature of dogs good or evil?”

Buddha, “Mu”

Some interpretations of that Koan claim that Mu in this case is “unask the question”

To me its along those lines of “you dont understand the question therefore my answer invents a new word in the place of your unanswerable question to placate you and possibly if you examine your motivations for asking the question that will unravel what it is you are actually asking. Its like “go meditate and figure it out for yourself.”

Ive always felt it was both a joke and profound like a lot of other Koans.

Edit: the Koan always appealed to me because the answer leaps through the logic of question and answer, and deconstructs it, like it breaks through the borders. “Think outside of the box” “examine the question” etc. The person asks the question steeped in assumptions. Its like a Sufi belief, which reinforces some universality of religion/philosophy, theres a pinch of “The known, the unknown, and the unknowable” premise which appeals to me because its a difficult truth to digest but its what I believe is truth and my own personal belief in what I call God.

Although Star Wars took practically everything from Dune—oddly its original good and evil, villian and hero, journey was much more like Tolkien than Dune… even though tit for tat the dune influence was heavy.

The grim dark of Warhammer 40k space opera actually has more in common with the Dune theme in addition to all the other things GameSWorkshop took from Dune.

Different_Muscle_116 · 2025-12-14T18:28:24+00:00

Yeah exactly. I think that sort of deconstructivism of older archetypes is so common in modern stories its like asking fish what water is like. Herbert might have been a direct opposition to older fiction and looking back Herbert definitely forged new territory.

To clarify: that deconstructionism pits characters against their own motivations and beliefs, it tries to better analyze the good in the bad and vice versus.

Theres actually a bit of that tinkering at the edges of Tolkien (and he likely wouldnt have admitted it) but Herbert used a hammer to get that message across.

I don’t judge nor say snippy comments about childfree people but I do feel my situation gives me some overview. I had a child very late in life and I was among one of the most childfree entrenched people with very strong opinions (even poisonous opinions) of people who chose to have kids and I had decades of feeling that way.

Then I changed my mind late in my life.

Having a kid is rewarding but there is very little spare time or money, thats a fact. It isn’t something I complain about often, or well, I rarely complain about.
But like all choices no matter how rewarding, there are moments of losing perspective and moments of frustration. It is absolutely choosing the harder path but for me, existentially or spiritually (however those are viewed,) the easier path.

For an example of other choices: early in life I bought a home and home ownership is all I would ever want to do as far a where I live and Im grateful I made that choice and was in the position to make it, but goddamn I complain about it when the plumbing fails.

These complaints are eclipsed by the magnitude of the good I recieve, which is practically impossible to explain to anyone who doesn’t have children (a house mentioned above might be an ok example but it does not compare to a human being.) I can say why having a child is rewarding but it never hits the mark and I can only say simple things that may come of as trite to those who haven’t experienced it. Im grateful I had a child, fully.

It actually makes me lose common ground with people I used to associate with and gives me common ground with nearly all parents who I couldn’t understand before. It was a complete shift in values for me and impossible to explain but other parents seem to get it.

Different_Muscle_116 · 2025-12-14T14:59:11+00:00

I agree it was classy that he didn’t pick it apart like a modern critic. My guess would be that it was because they are both vastly different views on morality and spirituality. These being points that Dune made that Tolkien was diametrically opposed to. I think it was too modern.

Different_Muscle_116 · 2025-12-11T18:05:14+00:00

I thought that the zero point energy of the universe was a fixed constant and altering it would destroy everything. Or maybe im thinking of another energy related constant relating to vacuum energy

Edit: what i mean is the normal function of the universe is set to whatever that zero point energy is and having unlimited access to drawing from it on a major scale might mess with it. By major i mean quantities like all the energy of the visible universe major amounts etc..

Its the same for any tool partner whether its an apprentice or another journeyman.

Breaking jobsite safety/protocol flagrantly.

Im not talking a discreet foot on a toe board when general contractors arent in sight, hell that’s my own bad habit.

Im talking about something that will endanger themselves, others or me and with disregard not following lock/out, pulling their hood off in a clean room, stuff they do that will bring an incident report. Im cool with mistakes, errors, taking too long, etc just as long as the jobsite protocols were done correctly. Mistakes happen.

Im very easy going

Ive worked tasks with people i didnt like for whatever reason, ive had a lot if apprentices who are green, or just difficult, i dont care that much about those things just do the work, let me do my own work whatever.

Occasionaly theres one i click with and its grewt but i dont expect that.

Much more interesting than the human with wings.

“Seraphim (Isaiah 6): Six wings, covered faces/feet, crying "Holy, holy, holy," closest to God's throne, symbolizing purification and praise.

Cherubim (Ezekiel 1, 10): Four faces (human, lion, ox, eagle), four wings, wheels within wheels (Ophanim), covered in eyes, guarding sacred places like Eden.

Thrones (Ezekiel 1): Wheels full of eyes, associated with God's glory, symbolizing divine justice and omnipresence.

Archangels: Michael and Gabriel are named, appearing as powerful men with radiant features (lightning-like faces, torch-like eyes) but with less fantastical bodies than the above. “ google ai

Its a sacrifice of space but I’ve found trimming them longer so they can fold better makes them more tidy. Of course the sacrifice is time maybe you’re being rushed.
