Does saying 'writing' counts as a tool? I think this was the moat important human invention. It allowed us to store state and transcend data through time. And this is what separated us from any other species

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_plate Joseph Whitworth invented the flat plate, and became the first person to manufacture with a precision up to a millionth of an inch. He’s why you can by generic screws that fit. The age of precision manufacturing is important for cars, planes and even semiconductors :)

religion, to me at least. been used to: - teach people about sanitary discipline without understanding the logic behind, only outcome. - social control - mobilize humans for war - attack opposition for difference in belief

i’d def consider language to be such a tool, even if we don’t know the inventor (guess it was a collective effort xd) it just became the foundation of human cooperation and so of any ensuing invention

Probably early farming tools that led to the beginning of civilizations in the fertile crescent? Have to imagine the introduction of the plow was quite impactful.

open sourced code imo we wouldn’t be where we are without the building blocks that are free and open to use for tech blockchain transparency + open source code => even better

The wheel - transportation, trade, tech The printing press - information dissemination. Effectively responsible for the ‘middle class’, one may argue The computer & internet - transformation of every aspect of life including information, communication, science, entertainment, storage, learning, etc.

The lever. Basic manipulation of one’s environment [demonstrated agency] using found objects [creativity & resourcefulness] to create a certain impact [ambition & vision], and precursor to many subsequent technological advances. (Credit to David Macaulay’s The Way Things Work.)
