The Dune school of divination
What’s that story with the Wizard who cursed a family to die by thirty then broke into their homes to kill them when they turned 30?
The actual story is called “The Alchemist”
Ah yes, the self-fulfilling prophet.
“I tell the future”
“Okay, tell me mine”
“Soon… You will go to Rome.”
“But I’m in Rome.”
“Do I lie?”
Be the change you want to see in the world
Be the change you
want tosee in the world.*fanning the flames* “I don’t ‘want’ this to happen, I just see it.”
-Isaac Asimov, Foundation (1951)
In Gym of the Romantic Journey, there was a character who could see the future, and then bring it about. Once he shot someone with a paintball gun because someone was going to wipe him off with a paperclip, and they’d look silly if he didn’t have paint on him. And once he rushed into a room where a fire started, and then was relieved that he didn’t have to be the one to start it.
