In an “Appendices” video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMwwUsirc3w), TheRedBook (https://www.youtube.com/c/TheRedBook) addressed a comment I left on this video about whether Sauron took the Ring to Numenor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBSgELkQNlg.  My comment built somewhat on my own video on a related topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKzuKSus8FI.  The question ultimately is whether Sauron’s ability to corrupt or influence other minds is enhanced by his own Ring, and in this video I wanted to explain myself a bit further since I think TheRedBook’s responses to my comment showed that I wasn’t sufficiently clear in my point.  Always love a good back and forth with another great channel!
