Summary: KMO welcomes Corey Olsen, the Tolkien Professor, to the C-Realm to channel J. R. R. Tolkien's crankiness about technology. Tolkien lamented the dawning of the Robot Age when machines cease to be the tools for the expression of human skill and replace humans entirely. Professor Olsen weighs in on the regular C-Realm themes and laments how TV news degrades human intelligence like nothing that has come before it.
