Our Hierarchy of Needs

The American psychologist Abraham Maslow proposed that healthy human beings have a certain number of needs, and that these needs are arranged in a hierarchy.

^ KEY POINTS​

• Maslow’s so-called "hierarchy of needs" is often presented as a five-level pyramid where the bottom four levels are "deficiency needs."
• "Deficiency needs" in Maslow's hierarchy of needs do not create a feeling when they are met, but result in distress when they are unmet.
• In Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the fifth need is a "growth need" of self-actualization, or fulfillment of one's true human potential.

This is my very basic “hierarchy” of needs:
1) Lowest level, before higher levels can be enjoyed: SURVIVAL. Avoid being killed or starved or diseased.
2) PROCREATION. Enjoy your genitals. Your species depends on that too.
3) LEARN how to have FUN communicating with others and develop relationships that advance your lifestyle.
4) Develop or learn to use TOOLS or machines or gadgets that advance your lifestyle.
5) THINK for yourself and don’t simply believe what others say about “reality” or “truth”. Enjoy SCIENCE & PHILOSOPHY.
