Perspective is fucking magic

its just boxes

>>7760363 (OP)
I honestly think it’s detrimental to know and follow the rules exactly.

>>7760368
Yeah, but much like the wheel, a lot of cultures and countries simply never understood perspective, or were unable to adequately spread knowledge of its methods around.
Most of Asia didn't do perspective until they saw European art, and just look at how long Europeans struggled with it.
It's only in hindsight, in a more "enlightened" age, that you're able to say it's 'just boxes'.

>I honestly think it’s detrimental to know and follow the rules exactly.

Why did it take long for humanity to understand that manmade objects all point to a single spot of our eyesight or that objects that are further look smaller and get covered by other objects?

>>7760467
Who knows? Why did it take so long for humanity to discover that round things roll, and can be used for transport? They lived in an entirely different context than we do, who already have said knowledge, and are educated with a more broad knowledge than they were.

>>7760467
what knowledge currently escapes us that 500-1000 years for now we'll look incredibly stupid for not realizing?

>>7760597
Probably similar things to the Victorians using lead makeup, or people blasting themselves with radiation from children's toys or everyday household objects.
So we'll probably be laughed at for all the plastic in our bodies, or some other obvious (from a future person's perspective) poison.

we're gonna eat the bugs and be happy.

Social media is harmful and should be tightly regulated like drugs or explosives are.

>>7760632
regulated by who?

>>7760641
By respective governmental bodies, like FDA. Social networks are a commercial product, quite odd that analogy escapes you.

>>7760597
It doesn't matter because history will be completely rewriten by then to the point nothing about most nations and events will be recorded anymore, except whatever is convenient for the eventual leader of humanity.

>>7760597
Bold of you assume we have another 500 years left. If another organism develops sapience, they'll surely laugh at humans for being so dimwitted. Then they'll die too and the next one will laugh at them until the end of the planet.

>>7760647
the "respective governmental bodies" are basically jews, retard

>>7760656
>our current understanding of history is accurate

>>7760632
This is probably true. I wouldn't be surprised if that extends to all media honestly; a lot of people are internet addicts, game addicts, or just 'veg out' in front of the television. Once such thinking about media starts, it's likely not going to stop at just social media.

>>7760467
because your brain actively compensates for perspective warpage

>>7760709
and the companies taking money for the privilege of fucking up your life aren't?

>>7760467
not important
there was some idea that lines kinda converge since ancient greece but most people would just get it close enough through observation.
no one put together the exact rules until the renaissance

>>7760467
same reason as to why every "simple" concept is really fucking difficult to develop and understand from scratch, these were humans battling the elements, illness, starvation, loss of loved ones, greed, lust, fear, etc. Not to mention the fact that you would become a joke and waste years of your life if you chase an idea and it turns out to be nothing, look at how tesla's life ended, studying alchemy, based but really just a waste of time.

>>7760597
Overuse of plastics. Easiest answer ever.

>>7760363 (OP)
its retard level. just make a grid and draw straight lines with a ruler.

>>7760363 (OP)
I can't remember the quote, but to be an artist is to be a (static) visual magician. Similar idea with animation, where it's just drawings changing shape to give the illusion of movement and life.

>>7760950
In hindsight, studying alchemy seems kinda cool looking back on it when science wasn't full there yet, and alchemy just seems like chemistry with a mystical flare to it. Who knows what he might of discovered by accident mixing all kinds a wonky things.

>>7760998
I recall that they were recently trying out a lot of ye old timey medical concoctions, and while there wasn't too many stories of them working, one that did work and made news was apparently some wretched mix of foul things like fecal matter and such.
People in the old days were crazy when trying out such (literal) shit, but what other option did they have? Just die?

Anyway, apparently that particular medicine cured something that we hadn't managed to cure, or helped it, or something along those lines.
I'm sure some faggot is going to ask for a source, to which I say "no".

>>7760363 (OP)
I don't get it, it's just 1,2,3 point perspective that can be explained in 1 image, how can people talk about it everyday and even release a book of it?

>>7761546
There's a lot of little tricks for measuring things.
But, yeah, I don't get how it's such a big topic.

>>7760732
>a lot of people are internet addicts, game addicts, or just 'veg out' in front of the television
you can't regulate your way out of NPC-dom. Weed is illegal in most places (slowly changing now) yet a huge part of the population consumes it. Alcohol was illegal in the prohibition era, people found ways to consume it. Before social media it was TV, people would veg out on their couch for hours, remember the term "couch potato"?

>>7761052
funnily enough, eating literal shit can actually be beneficial for some gut conditions. You can actually get a "fecal transplant" which is basically swallowing pills containing dried fecal matter from a close relative. Also, they found out that some autoimmune disorders can be cured by infecting people with intestinal parasites.

>>7761546
Why not? Architecture students spend months and years studying perspective.
