Pseudo Perspective: an imaginary rule of optics, strongly smelling of the ass it was plucked out of, that sad, basement dwelling, science averse clowns employ, in a desperate and pathetic attempt to prop up their ongoing denial of reality. See Flerfspective
"The whole video of Lake Ponchartrain is pseudo perspective, because of the extreme zoom of the camera compressing the background into the foreground, completely destroying my delusional version of reality into what I desperately call pseudo reality."

If someone has an adaptive perspective, it basically means that they change their point of view of something depending on who they are around, mainly to impress them (e.g. different point of view in front of your friends and your girlfriend). In most cases, having an adaptive perspective won't end well, but someone being told this will more than likely dismiss this claim with the words "it'll be fine".
Girlfriend: I hope the Packers get beat this week, don't you?
Me: (pause) Yeah of course. by the way, i won't be here this weekend because I have an important business trip that i have to go to.
Girlfriend: Oh OK then.
Girlfriend to my friends: Did you hear about that business trip that John had to go to this weekend?
One of my friends: What business trip? He told me that he got tickets to the Packers game!
Girlfriend: He hates the Packers though!
Friend: The Packers are his favorite team in the NFL. Must be his adaptive perspective again.
Girlfriend: That's it, he's in for it!

The most horrifying form of torture/punishment in the known Universe. The Total Perspective Vortex (it's so mind bogglingly terrifying it even gets Capital Letters) is a small, featureless steel box, barely big enough for one man to stand in.
The hopeless victims stand in the Vortex, and are suddenly shown, for the merest instant, the whole of the Universe: the whole infinity of creation, spanning over several trillion light years, and countless millennia, with an insignificant dot saying "You Are Here".
The victims, totally demoralised by their experience, fall dead from the vortex, wherupon they become the burden of the Vortex' custodian, Pizpot Gargravarr.
To date, Zaphod Beeeblebrox (former President of the Galaxy, and "The best bang since the Big one") is the only man to have survived the vortex, solely because he is a hoopy frood and the Vortex told him as much.

The total perspective vortex derives its picture of the whole Universe on the principle of extrapolated matter analyses.
To explain - since every piece of matter in the Universe is in some way affected by every other piece of matter in the Universe, it is in theory possible to extrapolate the whole of creation - every sun, every planet, their orbits, their composition and their economic and social history from, say, one small piece of fairy cake.
The man who invented the Total Perspective Vortex did so basically to annoy his wife.
Trin Tragula - for that was his name - was a dreamer, a thinker, a speculative philosopher or, as his wife would have it, an idiot.
And she would nag him incessantly about the utterly inordinate amount of time he spent staring out into space, or mulling over the mechanics of safety pins, or doing spectrographic amalyses of pieces of fairy cake.
"Have some sense of proportion!" she would say, sometimes as often as thirty-eight times in a single day.
And so he built the Total Perspective Vortex - just to show her.
And into one end he plugged the whole of reality as extrapolated from a single piece of fairy cake, and into the other end he plugged his wife: so that when he turned it on she saw in one instant the whole infinity of creation and herself in relation to it.
To Trin Tragula's horror, the shock completely annihilated her brain; but to his satisfaction he realised that he had proved conclusively that if life is going to exist in a Universe of this siz, then the one thing it cannot afford to have is a sense of proportion.

this sentence means, grasping something and consequently bringing its entity to cognitive existence, has not a unique shape and it depends on a viewpoint of the observer and therefor its a subjective thing not objective .
Truth is just a matter of perspective : there is no unique definition for any kind of truth , anyone can judge a thing for himself as a truth .

You lie down, and let the girl lay down on top of you, both facing up. Then, you reach around and finger her.

The Ke$ha perspective is a term which can be used to analyse literature.
In an author's poem when the author refers to waking up, or in other circumstances restarting a given period of time, such as a day, week or month.

Teacher: Tell me what elements can be found in this poem?
Student: For instance, The Ke$ha Perspective. The author refers to a start of a new day. Waking up in an unknown world...
