    Well yes, and what it means for “there to be things” is a whole discussion in itself. But the concepts of space and time are rather deep and fundamental (to our mental models regardless of how or if that maps to objective reality). The preference for right angles is much less fundamental and we can see past and get over it.

      My point is, when we study our preference for right angles, what we’re studying is the interpreter. It has quirks.
