Alia had to go down like a punk, because of what her role is.
With her infinite wisdom of man, she is always right on a personal level. This is why she is holy to her society: As a actual toddler and kid she is always right in her wisdom, about what a person should do to get their shit together, drawing from her finite wisdom of humanity.
But society is not a man, its a collective of man. On a scale far beyond perception.

Essentially because Alia isn't a Mentat, she can't effortlessly find the pattern of man's effort. And because her job turns into trying to keep up with Super Jesus Mohammed Space Buddha of the 22nd century, which is the Fulcrum the universe turns around.
In the end the Kwisatz Haderach is a parlor trick which is only possible because the predictions of predicting based on prior data can only produce meaningful results against truth saying if its the entire of mankind's lineage. There is also a lot of Space bullshit about quantum paradox regarding seeing the actual future, which will cause it to happen per Schrödingers cat, and the limitations of this vs other heavy spice users that later defines the plot of God Emperor.

What do you guys think about this book? Everyone talks about how amazing it is but I’m finding the writing terrible and none of the characters talk or act like real people.
