It also had the effect of making all of those that possessed the gene free from manipulation by future tyrants and forces that could understand prescience. This was to prevent anyone with the gene from being hunted by prescient hunter-seekers. An attempt to free humanity from prescient vision by introducing a gene through Leto's breeding program, first realized by Siona Atreides. This also taught humanity a lesson in thinking for themselves and not trusting charismatic leaders. Subsequently, this caused the expansion of human domains far beyond the boundaries of the known universe, guaranteeing the preservation of humanity in the long term by inducing a massive expansion and diversification of human population, territory, and culture. Eventually, after centuries of careful and deliberate oppression, Leto II was destined to die and release new sandtrout to begin a new worm-spice cycle. The terraforming killed off all the worms, while the lack of spice restricted space travel. A restriction in spice production alongside spice stockpiling and the terraforming of Arrakis. The Golden Path entailed two main objectives: God Emperor Leto II's stated goal was to "teach humanity a lesson that they will remember in their bones": that sheltered safety was tantamount to utter death, however long it would be delayed. The conflict between humanity's stated desire for peace and their actual need for volatility was the strong central theme of the entire Dune series, explored in every book after the first.
Although rarely addressed directly, it was often suggested that this lack of exploration and growth left humanity vulnerable to being endangered by a single threat, which would lead to the eventual destruction of humanity. Though the Imperium's population was many trillions, Leto II's rule proved that humanity was still confined within a space that could be controlled by a single interest.
