Is this a meta joke about how Randall projects himself onto the xkcd characters like cueball, etc.? 172.70.114.87 22:44, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

No. 172.70.130.239 00:12, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
No, in this context projection is where, instead of confronting one's own flaws, one convinces themselves other people are equally flawed. Often times people do this because it's easier to claim other people are just as bad than it is to improve yourself. 172.70.110.173 01:08, 24 August 2021 (UTC) Duban

Can I delete the alternative explanation about map projections? I feel like it definitely is not the subject of the comic. Dr. Beret (talk) 05:10, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

I thought this was about projecting the complex numbers into the reals. 172.70.126.69 05:52, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

How and why? :-D Obviously this is about the psychological feature of thinking others have your flaws as well. He even acknowledges he has a REAL problem. Had their been something with complex in the title text then maybe we could have discussed the possibility. --Kynde (talk) 06:36, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
