gosh i love Mycroft-as-narrator. literally anything can be unreliable narration. or all of it. take your pick! (i think i agree this is very much a Mycroft's-point-of-view affectation lol)
and gosh that's a good point re: machine translation. it's amazing to me how well even the janky built-in automated captions for something like Google Meet work nowadays; i've been able to dip into talks for foreign-language conferences in my field and pretty much been able to follow what's being discussed...!
(the short-short workweek + flying cars probably also hugely helps with language learning. much easier to spend the requisite Large Amount Of Time needed to learn the language if you can simply zip into a country nigh-instantaneously and spend 20+hrs a week there while you're learning.)
(also i did not know anything about JS Mill's love life; just skimmed some wikipedia and i'm fascinated? what a guy haha)
