Lets be real though, almost everyone who reads HN are in the self-actualization phase, instead of the "how not to starve" phase.
- squigz 2y agoThe ideas people have about HN demographics is wild.
- cableshaft 2y agoI'd agree they're probably not in the Basic Needs phase, but not necessarily past Psychological needs (Esteem, Belongingness and love, which are both under Self-Actualization). Can be hard to get beyond those, and money isn't the deciding factor there.
