Pretty sure Tolkien explicitly stated in an interview the ring represents technology. Would be curious if anyone has a source.
Jacob Butler
Did you read the wiki? It's well known. Tolkien didn't like technology.
Michael Flores
The Ring represents The Ring. Tolkien was pretty adamant about none of his works being allegories since he hated them.
Nicholas Hill
I never thought of this comparison before. Knowing Tolkien was something of an anarcho-primativist himself, very skeptical of industrialization, globalization, and such, these actually marry very well.
Jackson Campbell
Fpbp
OP pls kill yourself

Fuck off psued
Isaac Clark
based and tedpilled
Wonder if he ever read any Tolkien.
Matthew Howard
Tolkien especially hated automobiles and how they ruined travel. He never drove unless he absolutely had to. Traveling by foot or by horse is an adventure, while traveling by automobile is all about efficiency. It's desiring utility over beauty.
Nicholas Ross
Yeah and thats why the innately evil ork species had the most advanced technology by far
Brandon Perry
Which character would Ted be in LotR? Who would play him?
Logan Bailey
Radagast, no idea on the actor though
Matthew Morales
ted was kinda based
Christopher Brown
I think it should be this guy.
On the topic of who plays Ted, was there ever a good biopic? How was that Mindhunter series?

Are you a psychic op, because this is some real vague shit you're spewing
Anthony Cooper
How is it vague?

>“I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done so since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence. I much prefer history – true or feigned– with its varied applicability to the thought and experience of readers. I think that many confuse applicability with allegory, but the one resides in the freedom of the reader, and the other in the purposed domination of the author.”
Lucas Murphy
lmao
is that real?
Noah Davis
Yeah, Nike has had some weird ad campaigns.
Asher Ross
But Tolkien said the ring isnt a metaphor for anything
Gavin Ortiz
Ted extrapolated the true meaning that Tolkien didn't realize.
Austin Roberts
Its Saruman and isengard that represent industry and the destruction of nature
I mean shit nigga the trees end up literally and physically getting revenge and destroying and flooding isengard and letting nature destroy it.
Dominic Morris
tolkien confirmed as brainlet
Jonathan Gomez
Nah he was just a grumpy old catholic.
Ayden Thompson
He ripped off Wagner

Caleb Turner
So Wagner was also redpilled on the dangers of technology, interesting.

To be fair, their slogan literally comes from a convicted murderer who said "Let's do it!" before getting executed via firing squad.
