2035? I'm not so sure it'll take that long.
Northern Sweden, 1st of April, almost midnight, 10°C. It's supposed to be minus. Minus 5, maybe ... The spring temperatures are a month too early. (Spring? Night temps of 10°C are summer temperatures - I am being optimistic here)

Nearby? On one's lap, you mean. My dog comes running when she hears that I'm going to sit down on the couch with a book. Her favourite spot!

The complicated new high tech usually isn't threatening to the existing order, incumbent powers and plutocracy we're currently living in.
It's easier to accept a new idea, then to realise that the current situation and way of behaving is wrong. New tech gives the illusion we don't need to change.

We don't need more tech, we need a sense of urgency, and global cooperation. More tech (especially AI) demands more and more energy, at a moment we need to reduce energy usage. We need to get rid of the reign of fossil fuels and industrial meat production. We need a mentality (regime?) change.

People don't understand probability or statistics. Nor large numbers and their impact.
I think it's in human nature. Like not understanding that for example nuclear energy is one of the safest forms of energy,counted in deaths per Mw - and not even including future climate change deaths.
