Privatizing the US national helium reserve. Gonna laugh when in a few years the government of another nation ends up owning it. Helium is dwindling finite resource that key technological infrastructure relies upon.

LOTR is childish lol
In the broad strokes absolutely, in the detail hell no. I had to learn linguistic theories and botany to get to the bottom of everything going on in the books
no the detail is insane, the dude made up languages and then created LOTR just to put them inside
Sorta kinda but regardless, it’s a solid 50 years or so of work
The Hobbit is a kids’ book, but I’m not sure I’d say Lord of the Rings is childish. There are childish things about it, for sure. The black-and-white Christian morality and “good monarch” stuff, for example. But it’s a serious work of literature at the same time.
Which is not the same as “childish”.
The fact that humans make mistakes doesn’t change that there are right and wrong things to do. LOTR shows lots of the former, and it showing the latter doesn’t make it childish.
Since that “good monarch”'s good traits were about not breaking things that work and fixing things that don’t work, I think it was an intentional utopian picture. Sort of king Canute the way he is sometimes portrayed.
