Gollum gave his private assurances to Frodo—and we all know how that turned out.
Well I’m convinced. Frodo should definitely have worked out a way to clone the ring and made sure the information was available to all of Middle Earth. You can never have too many potential Ring-Wraiths.
I’d also like to see His Dark Materials with rationalist!Lyra. The girl had an alethiometer. She should have kicked way more ass than she did as soon as she realized what she had.

Suddenly I have a mental image of “The Lord of the Rings: The Methods of Rationality.”
Someone should write that (with a better title). We could have a whole genre of rational fanfiction.
Agreed; Lord of the Rings seems like a natural candidate for discussing AI and related topics.
