Insofar as the Butlerian Jihad has a point, it's not "AI bad", it's "when engineering machines to resemble humans is banned, elites will engineer humans to resemble machines". Mentats, guild navigators etc. Relevant, just for a different reason than the most common references to it

Fantastic game and was likely to be niche regardless, but the ideal release window for a game about your plucky neighborhood SWAT team is probably not "between the killings of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd", either

Bret Deveraux's explanation of army-level "foraging" really brought the Third Amendment into focus for me as a sensible partner of the Fourth rather than a weirdo one-off. Even a fully loyal & well-behaved army on its own is a plague of locusts, and "fully" never happens
