1. Overly Optimistic Projections
Assuming the world will magically fix itself and everyone will just get along is a classic mistake.
// Example of an overly optimistic projection
if (everythingWillJustWorkOut) {
console.log("All is well, all is well.")
}
This can lead to disappointment and frustration when the world doesn't quite live up to expectations.

2. Delusional Projections
Blindly ignoring reality and pretending everything is fine when it's not is another mistake.
// Example of a delusional projection
if (realityIsFine) {
console.log("Everything is fine, no need to worry.")
}
This can lead to a lack of preparedness and missed opportunities.
And then there's: Overly Narcissistic Projections
