I haven't watch Lord of the Rings either.
I'm not into fantasy all that much.

Me neither really, but I see Tolkiens story, one of describing the conflicts happening now - the death of humanity v's the fight for humanity.
More of an introduction to the big picture, for people.

I see it as nonsense.
Humans are defined by technology.
Tolkein did not address that.

technology is defined by humans - starting with a stone that was created into a club (or whatever). It was just stone until a human created the technology'
When we see the paradigm as technology being the definer - we surrender to another authority.

describe to me a human with NO technology please.

Now, there isnt one, but that doesnt change the principle - at some pointing in the past there were humans - with zero technology -that made some - for the first time- in the history of humans.
Ergo, technology has to be defined by humans - unless you surrender yourself to the opposite paradigm, which is an extremely pessimistic perspective.
In doing so, you are delegating your authority to a mindless technology.
Technology uses us, not us use technology ( as can been by the slavish non productive use of smartphones, computer games etc)

explain to me what a human with zero technology would be like. It doesn't matter if they currently exist or not.

chimps use rudimentary technologies- it doesn't define who they are - they are still chimps - if you took away their ' poking down holes, sticks' - they would still be chimps

that is debateable
chimps have a very early form of technology...as you say.
if they did not have it they would not be chimps..they would be something else.
but we're not talking about chimps
we're speaking of humans...
explain to me what a human with ZERO technology would be like.
