Why didn't Paul use his prescience to see himself falling into the prescience trap, before he fell into it? It would have saved the universe a few thousand years of worm-tyranny, and would have kept the Honored Matres from even existing.

And why didn't Luke use the force to see into the future and avoid getting his hand cut off and know who his father was etc.?

There's easy answers to our questions when you think about it.

He was so badass he could see slightly into the future and give the impression of seeing when blindfolded.

Apparently all he could do was see it and not change it. Yet another reason to not love Dune.

He couldn't change it because he got trapped by his own prophecies. In some ways, the Dune Tarot fog in his prescience was HELPFUL because it allowed him the wiggle room to make Leto II the way he was
