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
