It's funny how Eminem the boundary transgressor turned into a milquetoast good boy eager to support any direction political winds are blowing. Went from punk rock to a stuffy 1950's corporate trope.

Since about 2010 he has walked on egg-shells. Behaves like a man with so many skeletons in the closet he lives in daily fear that if he doesn't mouth support for power structures all those skeletons will be used to strip him to poverty.

Oh we’re schizoposting now huh. If you think Eminem “walks on eggshells” you’re just completely out of touch.

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.
