I just reading The Butlerian Jihad and the fight against the AI (Omnius) has pushed humanity at the very edge of the galaxy and almost to extinction. That humanity survives is nothing short of a miracle.

The fight takes on a religious aspect coupled with the emerging Bene Gessirit starting their manipulation might ensure a longivety to the ban

Cold once pushed us irl much closer to extinction than the thinking machines ever did and we're not banning winter sports.

I get what you're saying, I'm just saying that 10,000 years is way too much time. Like, just look how much we changed in the last 10,000 years and how much has stayed the same or at least very similar.
