Nice.

The only quibbles I have are:

While I realize people need a banner to rally around, ideologies are traps. You adopt one, and after you've bought in they close the doors after you and change it.

Hierarchy without meritocracy leads to degeneracy. There must be upwards and downwards movement, and elites/leaders must earn their positions rather than inherit them.

Good points all. I was about to answer your questions, but you answered them yourself.

Or maybe my headache was causing me to misunderstand what you said.

however, you are right. We must be the Rangers like Aragorn.

We must fight the Eye of Sauron and the Ire of Melkor.
