Our biases.
We are not evolved to deal with time. As a thematic extension, every time we remember something, we overwrite the memory. The past is not in our control.
The future is not in our control either. We are poor at acknowledging delayed gratification. Few animals had to invest and sacrifice their current rewards for a payoff months or years later.
On a similar note, when humans imagine an average-case scenario for a task, we imagine best-case scenarios.
In an age where investments of time and money play a large role, those humans who can better grasp time (with external systems of aid) will survive.
Becoming a time lord is more important than ever.
