I especially liked the part about the Professor's vision on globalisation. I often wrote on threads discussing the criticism of industrialisation as brought to the Shire by Saruman for example, but I never thought of the criticism of globalisation, of the hobbits losing their old culture in a time in which the old tales are being forgotten, the old songs no longer sung.
