Effect and affect are equally wrong.

"The root of admiration is *wonder*, as the Latin (*mirar*, to wonder) suggests. And “wonder” is as two-sided, as dialectical, as ambisexual as human beings themselves. “Wonder” is “wondering at” and “wondering about.” “Wondering at” is watching and reverencing; “wondering about” is asking and reckoning. “Wondering at” is Eastern, receptive, contemplation as an end in itself; “wondering *about*” is Western, acting upon, a means to an end. “Wondering at” is aesthetic, the inspiration of the humanities, *anima*, blessed by a feminine god; “wondering about” is analytic, the-inspiration of the sciences, *animus*, blessed by a masculine god."

Robert Kegan.

(To) effect (something) is force(truth before face)=[war-for-order]. In-existence noun.
Effect is masculine magic, the awe about how things work, and lamentation (music) for order.

(To) affect (something) is fake(face before truth)=[chaos-for-love]. In-existence verb.
Affect is feminine magic, the awe at why things work, and lamentation (music) for love.

How things are, is fallacy, as why things are, is self-deception, but the how-and-why synthesis of things is the psychosis that is the mayhem.
