He thought Tolkein was terribly negative in the Lord of the Rings. He really believed that Orcs were salvagable, because John was an optimist. He believed you really could get them back. He felt the elves were very much like environmentalists who didn’t like change. He hated to see the waste of technology.
The RING was technology to him and so he has this sequel where they divert the river into Mount Doom they retrieve the ring, and of course the properties of the ring are separable, because it is a process similar to chromography where you put on a gold bar the various properties like invisibility and evil, will migtrate at various different speeds. John was nothing if NOT creative; and there is fragments of this lying around if you can actually dig it up and read it but I think that shows that in everything John was an eternal optimist and as such I am sure that right now he is expecting you, having heard this to say “YES, I really should go back and do that logical AI” !
