Timebinding – the ability to record species history over many species lifetimes, accumulating data on what previous species lives had learned. Most species on Earth now are in fight/flight mode based on pre-programmed trust/distrust logic from when they’re young. If you take away the pressure to survive, they may grow past the basic survival logic gates like us.
I feel like many are going to point to our thumbs or ability to run or walk upright, but we are the sum of our information. Imagine if the internet was suddenly up and gone tomorrow, along with all the information it contained. We would still survive, but not in the comfort we’ve grown into today. GPS might become paper maps again, people would revert back to store and local markets, Blockbuster might be a thing again, no more music on your phone, you get the idea. On top of that I can learn pretty much ANYTHING I wanna learn nowadays online. Physics, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, it’s all online now. Anything you want to do you can learn with a computer and an internet connection.
If this was the 1900’s for example, and you showed an average 1900’s man the internet and how you can type in any question and have it answered, it would be straight up mysticism to them. It wasn’t that long ago you needed actual books on topics you wanted to learn.
