why do we write from left to right, why is zero on the left of the ruler, why do progress graphs always point to the left? Is there an objective reason for that or is it just the way it turned out?

  • It is if you’re right-handed. The majority of humans are right handed. Especially since there was a period of time when left handed people were being killed off so we kinda had a bit of eugenics in the mix on that.
