I found no net presence for author, Edward Dace I presume.
So I'll comment here:

But is it viable? That laundry list probably has survival value.
For a psychic type wed to a somatic type, beatings carry weight.
 
If you're not playing the Master role, you are stuffing Slave
ressentiment and awaiting the judgment day of big comeuppance.

We are all victims of sublimated libido, psychic overvaluation
that prefers our mental model of the world to the actual world.
If a shark ate me, he ate a C programmer. If I am killed at an
ATM--But No! I have important things to do!

Well of course he has. The WTC was the epochal cataclysm seen
in real time in every part the world. President Bush appears
to be agree with an end-time ruler prophesied in Daniel 11:21:
"And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they
shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in
peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries."
