Tolkien’s Warning in Isengard | The Dangerous Truth Behind Saruman’s Vision

Описание: Was Saruman completely wrong? Or was he right about one uncomfortable truth?
In this episode of Journey IV, we explore the rise and fall of Isengard — from a noble Númenórean fortress to an engine of fire and iron. This is not a defense of Saruman. It is an examination of why his vision of progress feels so reasonable… and why that is precisely what makes it dangerous.
Through Tolkien’s memory of mechanized war, the Scouring of the Shire, and the quiet wisdom of the Hobbits, we ask a deeper question: What is the difference between using tools… and seeking domination? When does craft become control? And why does iron always look impressive — until the birds stop singing?
This is a journey into temptation, progress, and the cost of forgetting how to listen to the world.
