LotR is a Mileu story
milieu?
This is why it would’ve been hard for Lord of the Rings to contain conflicted characters without becoming an entirely different story
I thought some of the characters were conflicted. In the “good vs stupid” sense.
Why is “good” vs “stupid” a conflict? Are they contradictory?
Yes. Doing things that result in predictable bad outcomes is bad. “Meaning well” does not especially impress me (any more).
Please taboo “good”. When talking about stories especially, good has more than one meaning, and I think that’s part of your disagreement
See the OB post linked at the top.
(My question was asking for confirmation that “Mileu” was a misspelling of “milieu” rather than some new word that I have not heard of and could not find on google.)
So, it was a misspelling of “milieu”, correct?
Yes. (Well, almost certainly. I think if it wasn’t I’d have been corrected by now and Robin Hanson’s use was of milieu.)
