Consider, if you are prepared to do so, that some lies are the catalysts of other lies, enablers if you will, and fiat is one of these fundamental and corrupting containers encouraging a house built on the lie that effects don’t have causes. We know this is bullshit—as Ayn Rand dramatizes.

The arrow of causality has to account for the dialectical relationship between individual responsibility and social cohesion—fiat is the narcissist abusing our human need for trust. If the individual cannot save his value (his productivity), his life is rendered meaningless because responsibility is not possible and without responsibility there is no freedom.

So you can see how the lack of freedom as a possibility (fiat) leads to reality itself, in a multiplicative sense, becoming a palimpsest of psychological operations intended to delude.
