The one revision to your comment I would make is that - all the things you say will happen in the future are ALREADY happening NOW (and have been happening for a couple of decades at least), though as you say - everyone is in their own bubble of reality, their own perceptions and narratives about the world.
>>"cognitive dissonance will become a Mental Disorder cited in the DMS-5"
I doubt it. People (humans) seem to be exceptionally good at resolving cognitive dissonances by ignoring data that go against their beliefs and search for data that confirms/supports their beliefs. It is a RARE individual that is actually impacted enough by 'cognitive dissonace' to actually do something about it and resolve it in a healthy way.
As a way of avoiding dissonance and estrangement from valued groups, individuals subconsciously resist factual information that threatens their defining values. What we believe about the facts often tells us who we are. And the most important psychological imperative most of us have in a given day is protecting our idea of who we are and our relationships with the people we trust and love.

I think this is one of the most effective tools that they use against the masses to get them to go along with the "current" narrative.
