The Rorschach test is a very appropriate example of how people project their unconscious and conscious thoughts, fears, desires, taboos, into external reality. Depending upon multiple factors within the person including traumatic experiences, intelligence level, personality factors (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion vs introversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism), morals, sociocultural beliefs, socioeconomic factors, etc. people can arrive at cognitive distortions with some people having quite substantial distortions and others less so. The human psyche is much like a hologram although Freud and Jung described it topographically as a useful model.
When these are combined with decades of social programming and conditioning (aka brainwashing, indoctrination, propaganda, lies, deception, misinformation, disinformation) used by government projects such as MKUltra, to give one example, and with pseudoscience such as critical race theory and DEI movements, the infusion into universities, schools, institutions, organizations, the judiciary and legal system, and the enormous lies and half truths which the mainstream media has been disseminating for over 70 years, it should not come as any surprise that we are at a point in time where there are two completely versions of reality. It should not come as a surprise that one is antithetical to objective reality and the other is subjective, the latter not based on empirical facts, rather on opinions based on personal beliefs, many which are used to erase cognitive dissonance.
