No, no I don't, man.  For a few reasons:
1. (A3) is a rather impotent psychological generalization that
does not explain anything new.  The motivation for security may
be a very strong force in people's lives, even the paramount one,
but it doesn't have to be.  I have met people whose driving motivation
was to do good for others, regardless of the risks to personal security.
You may say that doing this gave them a secure feeling, and I will not
argue with you, because you obviously know the complete emotional and
psychological makeup of every person on the face of the planet, as well
as many others, I am sure.

2. Even if (A3) were meaningful, which it is not, I have the right to be
wrong.  This is why I do not attack you for holding onto such obvious
inanities as (A1),(A2),(A3),(A4)....(An), and why I instead try to point
out why they are wrong.

and 3.  This psychological mumbo-jumbo really has no place on sci.physics.
To be perfectly honest, I don't believe anyone here, including myself and
yourself, have any credibility when we talk about subconscious motivation.
Post it somewhere else...er...I don't believe I just said that. ;-)

>  I am exhausted . I can continue, but I am exhausted.

Obviously you have exhausted your ability for rational (I use the term
in the loosest possible sense, to avoid overloading my COSMIC SARCAST-O-
METER) discourse and have instead opted to attempt to bludgeon us by 
telling us what we "must" do.  If this is all you can muster, please
don't bother to continue.
