You are talking nonsense with regards to Maslow's
"Hierarchy of Needs".
Maslow never described it as a pyramid. Never.
It is not a pyramid. Stop it. Please.
You may think that this is trivial.
It is not. You denegrate the majority of humans by supporting a structure which by its narrowing nature allows only a few to reach the top.
That is the nature of a pyramid.
I wonder if that was your intention?
You fail to notice - or point out - that this is not neccessarily a journey that everyone wants to, or should complete. Some actual human beings are fine with where they are on Maslow's categories. You should celebrate their success.
Maslow's theory, inutuition, whatever - is better seen as a bar graph for comparisons between populations, professions, cultures, religions, or other large groups. For example, it is currently being used to try and help us understand the phenomenon of "mass extinction" in the Pre-Cambrian era.
Go and study. I have. Why don't you?
And please stop disseminating lies.
We already have too many of those types of people.
