IAM aka je suis (jesus) aka suggested egoism tempting ones consent to take possession over self.
The other side thereof represents suggested collectivism; tempting each singular one within nature to join an artificial WE.
Here's what Ayn Rand wrote in "Anthem" (1938)...
The worship of the word "We." When men accepted that worship, the structure of centuries collapsed about them, the structure whose every beam had come from the thought of some one man, each in his day down the ages, from the depth
of some one spirit, such spirit as existed but for its own sake.
Those men who survived those eager to obey, eager to live for one another, since they had nothing else to vindicate them-those men could neither carry on, nor preserve what they had received. Thus did all thought, all science, all wisdom perish on earth. Thus did men - men with nothing to offer save their great number - lost the steel towers, the flying ships, the power wires, all the things they had not created and could never keep.
