Any RTL native can confirm that they visualize time as flowing from right to left?
Because this puzzles me a lot!
- chrisweekly 11mo agoFor me it's neither. Time seems to flow from back to front, as if I'm seated in a chair moving backwards; I can see the past as it recedes (moving away in the direction I'm facing), and can't see the future (I'd need eyes in the back of my head).
