"When traveling through time, sometimes, you cannot command the destination, hence arriving in the Oregon Dunes near Florence, Oregon, without even a flask of water, was not well planned. I was fortunate that it was the right moment in time, however, early in May, the year 1959, as I recall. Franklin Patrick Herbert Jr. happened upon me, as expected, and became my prodigy. I shared with him all that I could, some in metaphor, before departing for my next destination in the timeline. I reminded him that when asked, his inspiration for Dune, a codification of the Great Awakening, must be attributed to his experiences with psilocybin and his hobby of cultivating mushrooms. Franklin agreed. Before I left his company, I imparted my final words of wisdom, regarding one of the 2030 timelines which I briefly experienced.

I warned Franklin that all governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts, I warned, but that it is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people do tend to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted.

Hence the outcome of the 2020 election, one which Franklin most appreciatively, did not live to see.

The sleeper must awaken."
