⛽ Dune's Dirtiest Secret: It's All About Oil!
We love magic and sandworms, but honestly, the plot of Dune is about as exciting as an OPEC meeting (well, almost). 😂
Frank Herbert took our worst 20th-century obsession, OIL, and renamed it SPICE Mixture.
Arrakis = The Middle East. A hostile environment, but one that holds the most vital resource for galactic civilization (space travel!).
The Harkonnens/the Emperor = The Great Powers who only care about exploiting and controlling the flow, no matter who has to die for it.
The Atreides = Those who try to "play it clean" in a dirty game, and get crushed.
It's a lesson in Political Mindset: if your project depends on a single, limited resource controlled by tyrants, you are not free. True strength lies in finding a way to create your own "spice" or to survive without that of others (like the Fremen who manage their water).
QUESTION for strategists!
If the Spice were replaced by a concept in your life or business, what would it be?
(Example: The Spice = Free time to work on your passion. Or The Spice = The advertising budget to explode.)
What is your Spice, and how do you plan to master it? Tell me everything! 👇
