Subject: Culling the weak

Well I don't think that the Machine's purpose is to cull the weak. I think that they would just see humans as a threat to their existence...the two races came into conflict before obviously. I thik the machines would use their prescient powers to kill all humans and that is what Leto saw, so he made sure that Siona's genes were in the gene pool to prevent the machines from wiping out all of humanity. If Leto was able to breed humans that were invisible to prescience, the human race would at least have a chance to survive. Leto also knew that diversity in the human speices would be essential to survival...a more diverse species has a chance of surviving a cataclysimic event. Thus he instituted the scattering like you said.

The more I think about it though, though more this upcoming conflict with machines looks a bit like the Matrix movies... hmm.

Would recommend Noam Chomsky books?
