Let's just find a drugged out mathematician in the future and our destiny as a race is secured.
Paul Erdos has entered the chat.

Dune: “salvation? sure, buddy, sure”
I think Dune has very many themes, but the biggest one is the dangers of religion (which is not really portrayed in the movie I think)
The 2022 movie covers the first half of the first book and that theme only really comes into its own in books 2 and 3.

Sapho juice.
