The perspective is the same, but the one on the right is probably a more experienced artist since he is beginning the painting with the background, and if he finishes it he will add the foreground bars last. The dude on the left is going to have a more difficult time painting in between the bars and finishing the background properly without having to later touch up the bars in the foreground. It really has very little difference in perspective unless they both stay completely seated for the entirety of the painting.

I just pulled that entire statement out of my ass. I can't paint for shit.

Guy on the left has more chance of escaping. He will see the weakest point of the cement to try and pry the bars, whereas righty prefers his safe, beautiful, fantasy land. And if either of them had any intelligence, they would take their top off, piss on it, wrap it and tie it around two bars, snap off a leg of the chair, use the leg as a handle to twist the wet cloth until the bars bend. seeing the world either way is fine. But intelligence is the thing you need to succeed.

I don't know why you're having a tough time seeing it. I'm so sorry. See if this works:

This post is inspired by my music lesson tonight.

I have always been very afraid of trying to sing, but I decided to start taking singing lessons because I knew this would challenge me, it would force me to face my fear of singing in public. And it is in this discomfort, when we're completely out of our comfort zone, that we grow the most.

Tonight, I hit a new milestone at my singing lesson. To give you perspective, when I started a few months ago, I was whispering and my music teacher couldn't get me to project a single note. Tonight, I sang into the microphone and had to face the fear of hearing my voice amplified to the point that it couldn't be masked with an instrument. I was petrified. It was so scary, but also, so rewarding.

If you're afraid to try something new, If you're facing a challenge, if you're struggling with confidence or self worth, I encourage you to embrace the fear, to love the fear, and to do the very thing that scares you the most.

On the other side of fear lies freedom. And by embracing the change, by embracing your fear, you will find that you will overcome the fear, and you just might have fun! So say yes to life! Try something new! Embrace a growth mindset! Embrace change! Embrace your fear! Say yes to life! You'll be amazed where life can take you.

Remember, you grow the most in the unknown!

I don't think you mean that. We are working from a different set of information and observations. If we were working from that same set opinions would collapse in agreement.

The human brain takes information and has a photoshop snap-to-grid like feature. We pair information received with the closest information we've already seen, and generally sketch in ideas about anything missing between those points. It's that missing fill-in-the-blank part that causes comedy sitcom experiences.

You've identified what it feels like when there exists a gap in relevant information. A new information can feel like it doesn't fit world view. This sort of cleavage gets us to the common experience of society experiencing 'two movies playing on the same screen', where some look at information and see a completely different story than others do. Usually because they see that information from different perspectives.

This is the 'why' behind your university recommending teaching best practices of start a class with familiar from the prior class, then build on the new information. This primes which piece of prior information to attach the new information to. And explains a tool that can be applied more broadly in other areas as well.
