[21:02:25] <jaufrecht>	 TPG poll: is the future up or down?
[21:03:17] <jaufrecht>	 https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/IBDw31Dr/
[21:05:02] <jaufrecht>	 In chinese, the future is down.  In English, up.
[21:33:32] <meeple27>	 future is to the right, and behind us (as we walk backward through time). I haven't thought about up or down.
[21:49:21] <bd808>	 jaufrecht: I'd go with up on the vague basis that the majority of religious systems I know of (and certainly Abrahamic religions) place their benevolent god figures above and malevolent god figures below. So up == better == future. (random thinking I know)
[22:37:45] <meeple27>	 things grow taller as they age, which is an indication that time moves upward. However, a falling rock's natural direction is down, indicating that time moves downward.
