I’m back for Tolkien Reading Day, this time talking about Beregond and why this seemingly unimportant character is actually critical to his small part of the story and how he ties into one of the main themes of the book.Other Links: Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-355195 Odysee: https://odysee.com/@TolkienLore:f Twitter: https://twitter.com/jrrtlore Xero Shoes (affiliate link): https://xeroshoes.com/go/TolkienGeek Discord server invite link: https://discord.gg/EVKynAj2m9 (If link is expired contact me at [email protected] and I’ll send a fresh invite link).

Fall, Mortality, and Machine in Tolkien, Part 3: Machines and Magic and the Human Condition
01/09/2025
26:06
Tolkien’s attitude toward mechanization sometimes leads people to think of him as a Luddite, but that’s not really accurate. Nevertheless, he did have some negative opinions about “the Machine,” which he equated with “Magic,” and this final video in this series explores some of the ways he might have been onto something.For my previous two videos in this series:Fall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJCXQqCE5no&pp=0gcJCbIJAYcqIYzvMortality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJGfWI-aGWEFor GirlNextGondor’s excellent video on Tolkien and AI, go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1FvJdNKn6YOther Links: Playeur (formerly Utreon):https://playeur.com/c/TolkienLorePodcast/Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-355195Odysee: https://odysee.com/@TolkienLore:fTwitter: https://twitter.com/jrrtlorePatreon: https://www.patreon.com/tolkiengeekXero Shoes (affiliate link): https://xeroshoes.com/go/TolkienGeekDiscord server invite link: https://discord.gg/EVKynAj2m9 (Iflink is expired contact me at [email protected] I’ll send a fresh invite link).

A child in my household once said she didn’t like The Lord of the Rings because it’s “for boys.” Well I happen to know some girls who also like the story (and other things Tolkien to boot), and here I interview one whom you probably know but might not recognize at first about this question.Other Links: Playeur (formerly Utreon): https://playeur.com/c/TolkienLorePodcast/ Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-355195 Odysee: https://odysee.com/@TolkienLore:f Twitter: https://twitter.com/jrrtlore Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/tolkiengeek Xero Shoes (affiliate link): https://xeroshoes.com/go/TolkienGeek Discord server invite link: https://discord.gg/EVKynAj2m9 (If link is expired contact me at [email protected] and I’ll send a fresh invite link).
