I made a video from a found audio file, as little hobby project: Frank Herbert - Saviors and Political Animals This interview is a pre-Internet artifact recorded in 1984, and makes no reference to cryptography. But IMO it's dead center on topic for CPunks, because self identifying Libertarians and Anarchists need all the help they can get. Frank's ecological models of power dynamics in human affairs provides a stout dose of scientific and engineering sense that may cure any of several loads of ideological nonsense. "All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted." - Frank Herbert Frank Herbert was a true polymath, accepted without credentials as a participating member of the academic Ecology community (a demanding multidiscipliplinary science), as well as being an avid historian and radical political theorist. The mp3 I found included a lot with David Lynch, director of the original Dune movie, and about the film itself. So I cut the interview down to just Frank's historical and political exposition, and added a few appropriate quotes and pictures. Here's it. Bring popcorn and/or paper & pencil. https://archive.org/details/FrankHerbertSaviorsAndPoltiicalAnimals :o)
