but you'll probably dismiss it as new-agey handwavey woo woo crap about self-actualization.
all this existential stuff is kind of ridiculous, just like life, so you kind of just have to take it at face value.
- projektir 10y agoWell, Maslov's hierarchy is not exactly a proven concept. I think it's far too simplistic, for one.
- antisthenes 10y agoMaslow's hierarchy is way too generalized to be of any use. I would argue that it's not really a pyramid hierarchy, but more of a pool from which happiness and satisfaction is drawn, where some segments can compensate for others. The only indispensable one is the physiological one. Even Maslow himself states: >Maslow states that while he originally thought the needs of humans had strict guidelines, the "hierarchies are interrelated rather than sharply separated".[5] This means that esteem and the subsequent levels are not strictly separated; instead, the levels are closely related. Like all psychology of the mid 20th century (its essential infancy), it was merely an attempt to categorize some societal patterns without any actual data or studies, but from empirical observations of an extremely narrow view of a westernized society.
