How can a species consider itself civilized if its languages have no time travel tenses.
No Earth language can even handle causality from the future to the past, let alone a simple multi-past-single-present-multi-future sentence.
How can --evolutionary chain-- present day humans --doom-surivival-success-editing-SYW hope to be counted among sentients with such languages?
