Hey! I started watching saint A's videos, which led me to your videos, and here you are! Just wanted to say thanks for making such insightful and thought provoking videos (to both of you). Specifically your video on the commodification of the n word really made me consider "do i see my black friends as caricatures?", especially after I initially laughed at the story at the start of the video, and found it very funny, and even moreso with your accent. that setup, with the ending "am i seen as a caricature?" really made me think deep. I settled on no, i do not. But I really found value in the thought exercise, and walking myself through the process proved insightful for how I see myself as well. Sorry this is a bit stream-of-consciousness and rambling, the TL;DR is thanks for making such great videos!
@@pjk9225 weh ya say familayy! I really appreciate that dred. That video is making the rounds lately. It's crazy cause i love making ppl laugh and i don't want you to doubt your laughter but i appreciate you actually reflecting on it. That's really all we want at the end; acknowledgement of the situation and the validation of what we feel on the daily
I like the idea of a "wheel" of needs, where one, depending on their circumstances, may have one or more spokes already available to them, but the entire wheel.
A couple years ago I was ranting to my partner about the pyramid shape and ranking of the hierarchy, because I'd just learned about permaculture and decided that needs should be seen like a village or settlement, with different unique functions that all variously affect a mental ecosystem. Now I'm thinking we need an anarco-ecological psychology reform movement... anything but that triangle.
I like to think of it as a whack-a-mole of needs. Needs spontaneously emerge (like the moles), and as soon as they do, you make efforts to meet them (like you’d whack the moles with a mallet). No hierarchy, no structure, no pattern - just a never ending run of spontaneously emerging needs.
Many of us non indigenous in Canada are coming to realize that our first nation brothers are correct in so many ways, and while they are being pulled away from it, we have a much further road to go to attain what they once had.
That's cute...but are you gonna give the land back and disabuse yourselves of the notions of land as material property? I say this not to belittle or be (unnecessarily) confrontational, but that appropriation of an indigenous cultural past without acknowledgement of indigenous presence/presents and allowance of indigenous futures is just settler-colonialism.
@@jinmushui1soul "that's cute" is belittling. People are more receptive when you don't talk down to them. Even when you are right, convincing someone you're right requires an argument that makes sense to them and their understanding of the world.
Same as in Australia. Bruce Pascoe has brought to light a lot of evidence of the extent of established agriculture of the Australian First Nations. Even thrown into question the usual view around the emergence of agriculture, that it was a far more symbiotic relationship than one of domination.
@@nahometesfay1112 you know where you are, right? Are you seriously tone policing here? I can promise that you don’t know what you think you know about effective communication or education in general. And let’s not even get started on proportionality.

I'm in AP Psych right now and I was thinking about Maslow's hierarchy and how it might relate to anarchism. I was trying to figure out a way to include needs such as liberty and purpose and to deconstruct the hierarchical framework of need, and then this video is published not even a week after I had that thought. I think common need is the basis of anarchism; we all have needs and so we can have solidarity. This framework of need gives a good basis to then argue for anarchism over other methods of meeting needs. Very good Also interesting (but not surprising) that this framework was basically already in practice in indigenous communities. Goes to show how much colonialism has set the world back
In theory (emphasis on theory) people capitalism is also built on a framework of meeting people's needs through supply and demand. To meet your own needs you can pay others, but then you must provide a good or service that helps other's meet their needs to get money. The idea that acting in your personal interest ends up making you act in a way that benefits everyone is called the invisible hand. This all assumes that we are all free to choose what transactions we make and that we are equal in the market, but this is obviously not true.
Literally, Maslow's needs have been on my mind a lot lately and I've been struggling to see the connections and importance of it to where I'm at rn, although I recognized that there was something special to it that I couldn't quite put my finger on. This video gave a lot of clarity
th-cam.com/video/ONTAefdVs5o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=q9LAOmKkEomeJcuK I'd recommend delving into the origin of Maslow's Theory which comes from the Blackfoot Nation
I have a bachelor's in psychology and a master's in mental health. I only learned about Maslow's self-transendance need in my last year of my masters- and on my own time. A little bit later, but also the same with how he took his ideas from the Blackfoot people. This was an incredible cover of this topic. Thank you for doing it. With all of the training that I have, I am absolutely convinced that the only two systems that will help humanity in the realm of psychology and mental health are indigenous psychology and Liberation Psychology. Again, thank you!
Really?? I took a Psych Theory class at my college back in 1983 and there was a Jewish psychologist (sorry, can't remember his name), who survived the Holocaust and theorized that some people transcend all needs through a belief system. (He had met some in the concentration camps who were very happy regardless what happened to them because of their belief in God).
@@rabbit251 Maslow's self transcendence isn't about transcending needs. In my understanding, it's more about breaking beyond the borders of ones identity. Man's search for meaning by Victor Frankl is the book you are referring to. His theory isnt about transcending needs or identity, but that people have a need/desire for meaning making. He talks about how one can push through the most detrimental of situations by creating some kind of meaning. Self transcendence can be one of the ways people can do that, but Frankl doesn't state that explicitly.
5:50 This part about how wealth is measured is is extremely important. In the northwests coast peoples there is a concept called Potlatch. The word reffers to the lavish feasts leaders would host on a semiregular basis, but also to the broader social institution it existed in. The peoples in question still valued material wealth; this was not an anarchistic or egalitarian utopia by any means; but physical wealth was seen as being secondary to social resources, meaning A) the respect of the broader community, and B) the loyalty of their immediate followers. So leaders who hoarded too much loot would eventually end up giving away and-or destroying large portions of it in massive multi-day festivals to secure respect, loyalty, and good-will. Personal gain and the well being of the community were not seen as being opposed to each other, but as feeding into each other over time. A man who gave away half his money, and threw the other half on the communal fire pit, but gained new followers and renewed the loyalty of his existing ones, would consider this a fair trade. Their rivals would likewise face social pressure to produce even more extravagant Potlaches, sometimes to the point of ruining themselves in the cycle of one-uping each other. There are many stories of leaders making fools of themselves in their paradoxically generous greed. This essentially acted as a kind of release valve, in which the accumulation of wealth and power would be regularly counteracted before reaching excessive levels. The system was remarkably stable over time, until case no. 394327 of Colonialism Ruining Everything. Some other societies seem to have evolved similar practices independently, for example the Koha custom in Maori society, or the Kula Rings of the Kula isles. Well worth a read if you have the time.
Hm. I feel like this sounds like a manipulative community. The people with a lot material wealth give a portion of it to buy respect, loayalty and good-will. People with less will not get chance to take part in getting respect, loyalty and good-will. I would not support that in any means. Wealth should not be burned up by massive festivals to secure loyalty. It should never get the chance to accumulate in that amount
I'm so glad you brought up parenting in this video. It would be nice to see more anticolonial approaches to resolving interpersonal connections. The most obvious one that comes to mind is how different cultures approach intimate relationships and sexuality, but there's not a lot about maintaining/resolving familial relationships. In an individualistic society it's a lot easier, and more acceptable, to cut off relationships with abusive family members. It would be nice to hear how conflicts like domestic/child abuse are solved in more collectivist societies, especially when it comes to intergenerational trauma
What's odd though is that there's no connection between the arrangements of different needs in a model and the way of obtaining them (individually or cooperatively). The nodes on the web of needs correspond to different needs after all, not different individuals.
as someone who works in health care, specifically assisting folks with developmental disabilities, every year we "train" on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. working for a non-profit, they have no issue making your top priority the self actualization of the people you serve (which it should be) while suppressing wages that keep you struggling for basic needs at the bottom of the pyramid (paying rent, food, etc). like so many other industries, for profit or not, they keep creating more levels of bureaucracy to justify high salaries of executives and administrators while wringing their hands about raising wages for those doing "direct care" (doing the actual work of supporting the people we serve) because "it's not in the budget".
Isn't that how it always goes???? Why is it the ones WHO DO THE WORK, the actual most important part of the whole operation, get paid the least?? Now where's the justice in that???
My minimum wage laws of $25/hr for all workplaces with 25+ employees and executive pay limits and mandated worker representation on all major decision-making boards would fix that. Eh too bad to date I'm just a random nobody (for now at least).
I know me too I've been trying to think division of industries along those lines for a mixed model transition towards socialism. Highest need = Nationalised Industries Belonging needs = Coop Industries Self Actualisation needs = Passionate specialists (i.e. ethical greed) This way if people want a fulfilled life via working essential industries they can be a civil servant working and supplying their community. If people want to increase products to make luxury or complex goods (i.e. instances of "better" commodities) they can work in coops taking advantage of the public infrastructure and giving a responsibility to repair infrastructure. If people have passions to create art gain highest level skills in an area of knowledge and have wealth in a life where they cycle and provide either enrichment to others or advancement to industries they can but knowing it's extremely harsh and profit driven however the capital would be crowdsourced by the coops/nationalised services via their tokens/whatever replaces money or maybe money if it still exists. This seems like a model that could be administrated.
"In our society, parenting most often takes the form of strict domination, discipline, and control." Man, I must be lucky. I didn't realize that many people have that bad of parents.
Oh yeah, No shit. Dad wad also guilty of this as well. So too was mom and Grandma. I mean no kidding. So the choices are either A: Alienation B: Isolation C: Not being with friends and family D: Poverty tourism E: Being in the military F: Destruction of respect G: Bullshit jobs H: Social media validation
So, there's this term that's been gaining cachet in the past few years: generational trauma. It got a huge boost in popularity from Coco and Encanto. It's an entire thing that I can't do justice to in a TH-cam comment. Some people are extremely lucky in that their parents' parents were good at parenting, so their parents didn't have any trauma to pass on. Some people are fairly lucky in that their parents broke the cycle of violence. And the rest of us were simply not lucky in that respect. My parents largely didn't have the will to control me; they tried but they couldn't get it to stick. I consider myself lucky.
Yeah I have never really been a fan of the way Maslow's hierarchy was illustrated. The Pyramid structure makes it look like the needs are standing on top of each other while the circle structure makes them seem interwoven. Also it is interesting to learn that Maslow based his work on his observations of Canadian indigenous people. Thank you for the video!
I clicked like and subscribe just for the thumbnail. While teaching 9th grade English and Reading on the Mexican Border, I introduced the school year to my students with this concept. The other we used was Bloom's Taxonomy. These two pyramids had been drilled into my head in college, and they were key to my surmounting my own personal and cognitive problems. Why not pass on the keys to the kingdom? In good faith, at the levels of Bloom, my students customized their own versions. Many came up with SPLITTING need for self esteem as its own level. Maybe the best way to teach is not content or narrative at all, but METHOD. CRITICAL THINKING FIRST.
This is a great video! Part of what I've enjoyed as being a counseling student in recent years is the expansion towards multicultural perspectives that have opened conversations up surrounding figures like Maslow and their theories. As someone who seeks to become a counselor, we need to rethink psychology and areas of help like therapy if we are going to be able to provide the help that the field is capable of. I still need to read more into it in my free time, but I've been recommended reading books on the topic of liberation psychology and would like to recommend "A People’s History of Psychoanalysis: From Freud to Liberation Psychology" by Daniel José Gaztambide. I've only read into it a bit so far, but if it's as good as some of the literature I've been reading surrounding courses and perspectives like those found in multicultural counseling, I'd consider it worth a read.
I remember, that when I was teenager and Maslow's Hierarchy was introduced for me, it "sounded legit" and therefore I believed in it. But today, I see it different. It is non-sense. I see more, that when ever there is lack of something, it rises on priority to fulfil. And bigger need is (at moment), stronger it rises from priority. Some needs are more easily rising as big priority, like we need food quote often, if possible every day or multiple times in every day. Need for water is even easier rising as priority, since it is more easily depleted. Air even more, since we would need keep breathing every second, if possible.... BUT, how different things are prioritised at any moment... different persons have different "resilient" for some need. Person x goes more easily hunger than person y. But this even change in different eras and different situations by same person. I was very skinny once, ate rarely. Then I quit smoking and started eat much more. And in some point started again eat bit less, but not as little as earlier in past. I would say, that generally priority is highest by need which as not-fulfilled is biggest tread to your life. But this is not always in case. People can learn alternate priorities, rise resilience against some need, lose resilience against some need, etc. For example, in battlefield people end make different decisions than in everyday life. Killing other people (what they would not normally do), or save some ones life... etc... It is not fully the situation, since both side soldiers want believe that they are "defending", often ether sides do not want kill, but they are pressured to kill. Teached that they should do that in that situation. This just one extreme example.
it's food security not simply food isn't it?I might be momentarily hungry because dinner is in 2 hours, but know my meal is coming and that i'll have food tomorrow, so that need is met, but someone who just walked out of a soup kitchen has a full belly but doesn't know if they'll eat tomorrow does not have their need met.
@@kaiserruhsam Not really. If you do not have food at clock time you usually eat, you feel bit hungry. If next day from that, you still didn't have any food, you are much more hungrier than day earlier. And next day... and so on. Eventually you will die, if you do not get food. It may take one month, if you have access to water but not to food. (So keep it in mind, when reading news from Yemen or other places, that people who are starved, didn't skip one or two meal... but days and days... Or ate too little, less than needed. Or ate too low nutrition level food or "food"). In capitalism everyone do not have any more basic skills to get food, but also society or community does not any more share food. Food is behind of imaginary thing called as "money". Society - structures of society, ways who it is organised, tries to push you to obey status quo in order to get things like shelter (home) and food. If you are worried do you get food tomorrow, it is not so much question of fulfilling need of eating, but question about our society and its structures. Cat and wolf have same basic need for food. Domestic cat possibly get that food from communion - from human - for free, no money is asked from cats. Wolf will hunt their food. Their worry for food rise only if there is lack of it. And human is animal too. Humans alternate more of their own ways of prioritise things, than most of other animals. Years ago, I was in situation where I needed to think, do I want smoke (tobacco) or eat. I didn't have money for both. I do not mean this as one moment, but generally: prices were getting higher, and same time I got higher punishments from not obeying society and its rules. I chose food, and quitted smoking. But I can see that lot of people, high likely majority of people, would chosen tobacco or some other addiction over food. For many reasons. It is not easy to end your addiction, and you will feel much worse much sooner, than with lack of food. Need for food is not binary thing. It is not "fulfilled" or "not fulfilled" (like Maslow's hierarchy of needs make you easily to think). It is question how deep it goes, and what consequences there is (depend of all details of things...). I may be time to time with very little of food for day or few. Eating just cheapest noodles or similar. After 2-3 days, energy level start dropping much, and really need to good meal, or cannot functioning normally any more. If you do not do things like that, you may live in illusion, that need for food is just that feel of hunger. (In my case those days with little food is not even question of lack of food, but more often lack of bothering to go to shop and buy some...). In capitalism, most of cases, if you do not have money for food and shelter. You are more likely to feel bad - not so much because you have lack of them (shops are full of food - technically could just take and eat. And there is no lack of houses or buildings ether, there is lot of empty ones, or ones which could be used different way...), but instead you feel shame by not pleasing your society, your community. Not fulfilling what you are demanded to do (get enough money for things - do things to get money). It is different need, to come along with other humans in your communion or society. And you can go much deeper in thoughts with it... But I do not go now. (I personally have much less need for be accepted by society, so I do not suffer much of "shaming" or not do things what I'm pressured to do. And this is one example, why "hierarchy of needs" is nonsense. Different people have alternate priorities in different needs, and even same person can have alternation for priorities in different situation or different parts of their lives. I once had strong need for smoking in part of my life. I do not have that need at all any more. Need for food change for me often, based on close history how I ate in resent months, etc. Some people need for please other people, society, may be so high that they are more willing to starve to death, than broke rules... or so. Everything change so much, between individuals, and during life of same individual, that there is no base for idea that there would be really "pyramid of needs" which would explain phenomenon of needs for everyone. Instead you need look every need individually and see what are things what effect on them, and what is consequences of not filling them properly).
Wow this part about being born self actualized is everything!!! We are the ones we've been waiting for. We just must realize it first. #healing #healer #cohealing #justice
Terrence McKenna once said "culture is not your friend... find the others" we will only find the others if we look, and as well as putting our voices out there for others to find.
I thought I could smell the colonial logic in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. It goes to show that even when an idea comes from indigenous people, it gets warped in order to serve capitalism
It doesn't come from indigenous people. Maslow modified his hierarchy (by including Transcendence) after seeing how it didn't explain the Blackfoot tribe's way of life. Most people (including myself) have not seen the this modified version and in fact are taught simplified versions that further instill colonial logic as you put it.
I hear Maslow referenced a lot but never thought to research it enough to know what all the needs are and to understand them. So thank you for educating me on this popular intellectual reference point and then re-educating me on the subject.
Thanks for this. It's astounding (but also utterly predictable because settler-colonialism) how many "enlightened" ideas in Western social thinking are a distortion of some non-Western, indigenous worldview.
First of all I really liked this video and I think you made your points pretty clear :D Second I want to say that this video make me want to share more. I love the feeling of sharing and helping because it gives me purpose. Therefore I will try to put a little more effort into trying to share! Like making dinner for someone I love or just helping someone out in any way possible. In a way, share my time. I think helping others is a very good way to find new friends and improve existing friendships. I'm a teen and I don't like how many parents treat their children (controlling, commanding etc.) I remember being a child my self and I was doing the same things then as now: being kind and trying my best. The only difference I think, being older, is having more knowledge about the world, but my ground visions are the same. Thanks again for a very enlighting video :D I really appreciate your content.
the reason i searched maslows hierarchy of needs is because it seemed off that it is viewed as a pyramid so i wanted to learn if people view it as if in order to reach the "next" one, you need the one before done. your video stated "rethinking" so i clicked on it. when you mentioned "self-actualization is not something we must work to earn, but something innate" was exactly what I was feeling. because now that ive "self-actualized" ive realized it has been with me this whole time, and it will come and go as i journey. thanks for the videoo
I have taught Maslow's Hierarchy in Healthy Living (though I don't teach it this year 😥) but I will absolutely be using this video the next time I teach it, incredible work, Thank you.
His theory is an essential part of how I work and think as a music therapist and I’ve always applied his theories to how I viewed politics and critique of capitalism
So much of our modern understaning of psychology is based in white/Western capitalistic traditions (including the strict ideas of gender, sexuality, race, disability, etc) and these psychological "truths" reinforce the validity of those traditions and systems. I really appreciate you for helping me and many other people tear down these ideas.
I love using Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as a framework for thinking about all sorts of things and I had no idea that he was inspired by Siksika-Blackfoot society. Very cool.
Amazing video. I've always been apprehensive of de-growth, past non-modernised human communities because of the near ubiquitous magical thinking/religious beliefs that tend to result in gay people like me being killed when found etc. But with modern knowledge if a secular version of this could be achieved it sounds great. I wonder if there would be an ethical way to prevent groupthink spirituality happening in such a system.
I highly doubt spirituality could be prevented in such a system as it's a natural tendency for humans to desire spirituality. However, not all religious groupthink leads to anti LGBTQIA+ societies as there have been quite a few religions that worshipped queer people
Thank you for this! Educators learn about Maslow's hierarchy in school, so it's interesting to think about it in a different way and re-frame it in the context of community and culture. I like the circle idea. I didn't know Maslow learned from indigenous communities and practices. I guess he left some stuff out. Great video! I love The Office picture.
Great video as always! Also just wanted to say I loved the art throughout and the ending music too! Your captions always help my adhd brain take in information and the visuals are wonderful too :) Thank you for all you are and all you do
Thank you so much for this video! It's gutted me on a deeply emotional level that I can't even describe. It not only showed me that the society I want to live in already existed, but that my some of ancestors lived in it... but also that my other ancestors played a part in taking this away. It's really inspired me to look more into Siksika culture & history, I honestly know very little about it. My dad never really talked much about it, but also my grandpa never really talked about it with my him either.
This is a good video. I used Maslow's hierarchy when I made a video about praxis because I didn't have another framework to describe it, but this video was really illuminating. Love your channel, you're doing really good stuff
Wonderful video, as always! I really enjoy hearing about communities with worldviews and practices so different from what we experience everyday. It really hammers home that there is another way.
Honestly, I needed hear this different framework for the hierarchy of needs. Such a good video! Too many pshycology classes have beat the pyramid model into my brain, and it's pretty toxic.
Amazing video. I been thinking a lot and trying to find ways to implement revolutionary or countercultural actions in my community, and I find y'all's videos extremely inspiring and helpful. Especially when you give tips on direct action we can take at different scales. Please keep up the great work
The frustrating thing is that the idea of rugged individualism under capitalism is so easily debunked with just the smallest amount of reasoning and any significant level of understanding of history and society. Every major accomplishment in human history has been the result of or enabled by collaboration. The technology that allowed for the floor im sitting on was invented by people iterating on the work of others. The materials were made by someone and it was installed by someone else. People just insist on giving individuals credit for the accomplishments of groups because of indoctrination.
Every video of yours has been educating me and giving me new perspectives. I really hope your channel takes off and your content reaches more and more people.
This presentation is wonderful, thank you. I’m going to watch it a few times to take it in. One part of this presentation shows a circle divided into four quadrants - Cognitive, Physical, Spiritual, Emotional. I was struck by the similarities to Carl Jung’s four functions of perception - Thinking, Sensing, Intuition and Feeling.
Found your channel a couple months back through the solarpunk video and just the other day i heard you on a podcast with Robert Evans. its awesome to see two people i like working together :)
Notice the first things talked about here is the pinnacle of physiological air water food etc. These also form our shared common needs which are needed to make an economy run, which are the pinnacle of the people's interests & why we need a strong gov in the peoples hands, or ones that represent us, like "we the people" over corporations, industries & zillionaires whose interests are like diametrically opposed to our own shared in-common interests: fresh air, clear waters, clean nutritious foods, safe workplaces & livable remuneration, nature in the forms of forests to play in. BTW, forests also stabilize the climate & make an abundance of fresh water & would do so without flooding.
I’m really sad that I was originally introduced to tis as an individual and not as part of a community. I also feel sad that I didn’t know the culture behind that model of interpretation
I really like this nice Inuit art to demonstrate. I don't think "criminality" was such a threat through history because people depended on each other. If you hurt people, they might chose to not share food with you or worse, they might just shun you from social life - ain't no one want to live like a ghost.
Very interesting and beautiful too! The circle reminded me of the doughnut economics talk that has recently done the rounds. To try and get away from community interconnectedness does seem like madness.
Wonderful video! I think Maslow's hierarchy has some good uses but like you said, it really needs a community component and it's very stuck in the framework of our current society instead of challenging it.
Find the book "La Société contre l'Etat" (the society against the State) of Pierre Clastre It explains a deep sociological fact that contradicts usual theories, on Guarani society. It's a key element of your next thinking.... I lived long in South America also.
Thanks for the video! It broaded my view. :D The „Giveaway“ ceremonies sound kind of two natured. It can result in “blind” loyalty based on this shared wealth. More so from poor people. I mean we have a problem with narcistic people. There has to be education related to a least that topic. About the spiritual beliefs and long-standing traditions. I hope they allowed to question them themselves and there children.
Commenting for the algorithm cuz I can only _like_ it once :< (I'd rather like this video like 30-50 times than once haha) Edit: Aha but I can like it twice-thriceish using the magic of having a twitter account!
While I will agree that Maslow is pretty popular under the laymen, I highly doubt it is amongst Psychologists. I studied Psychology and still follow the academic world. If it is evem discussed, it comes with the caveats discussed in this video (and more). SDT has replaced the Hierarchy of needs 20 years or so now. Even then, Maslows ideas were mainly popular amongst humanist psychologists (a movement that died before the turn of the century) so yeah... Source please. Also, Spiritual needs are not a Psychological concept. Its fine for philosophy, but has no place in science, until you can measure it. That was one of Maslows good points: he didnt discuss spiritual matters but (measurable) life goals.
Woyyy lemme send this to my Poli Sci department cause we got a guy that always citing Maslow & Robert Putnam (yes, social capitol Putnam). I be so tired of arguing with him so thanks, i ga just send this to him ✊🏿

I settled on no, i do not. But I really found value in the thought exercise, and walking myself through the process proved insightful for how I see myself as well.

@The Stranger love you too fam
So what you are saying is, we need to remove the "Hierarchy" from the hierarchy of needs?
So the anarchy of needs?
I like the idea of a "wheel" of needs, where one, depending on their circumstances, may have one or more spokes already available to them, but the entire wheel.
Mutually associated needs
A couple years ago I was ranting to my partner about the pyramid shape and ranking of the hierarchy, because I'd just learned about permaculture and decided that needs should be seen like a village or settlement, with different unique functions that all variously affect a mental ecosystem. Now I'm thinking we need an anarco-ecological psychology reform movement... anything but that triangle.
I like to think of it as a whack-a-mole of needs. Needs spontaneously emerge (like the moles), and as soon as they do, you make efforts to meet them (like you’d whack the moles with a mallet). No hierarchy, no structure, no pattern - just a never ending run of spontaneously emerging needs.

Same as in Australia. Bruce Pascoe has brought to light a lot of evidence of the extent of established agriculture of the Australian First Nations. Even thrown into question the usual view around the emergence of agriculture, that it was a far more symbiotic relationship than one of domination.

I'm in AP Psych right now and I was thinking about Maslow's hierarchy and how it might relate to anarchism. I was trying to figure out a way to include needs such as liberty and purpose and to deconstruct the hierarchical framework of need, and then this video is published not even a week after I had that thought.
I think common need is the basis of anarchism; we all have needs and so we can have solidarity. This framework of need gives a good basis to then argue for anarchism over other methods of meeting needs. Very good
Also interesting (but not surprising) that this framework was basically already in practice in indigenous communities. Goes to show how much colonialism has set the world back
In theory (emphasis on theory) people capitalism is also built on a framework of meeting people's needs through supply and demand. To meet your own needs you can pay others, but then you must provide a good or service that helps other's meet their needs to get money. The idea that acting in your personal interest ends up making you act in a way that benefits everyone is called the invisible hand. This all assumes that we are all free to choose what transactions we make and that we are equal in the market, but this is obviously not true.
Literally, Maslow's needs have been on my mind a lot lately and I've been struggling to see the connections and importance of it to where I'm at rn, although I recognized that there was something special to it that I couldn't quite put my finger on. This video gave a lot of clarity
You're awesome!

I'd recommend delving into the origin of Maslow's Theory which comes from the Blackfoot Nation
I have a bachelor's in psychology and a master's in mental health. I only learned about Maslow's self-transendance need in my last year of my masters- and on my own time. A little bit later, but also the same with how he took his ideas from the Blackfoot people.
This was an incredible cover of this topic. Thank you for doing it.
With all of the training that I have, I am absolutely convinced that the only two systems that will help humanity in the realm of psychology and mental health are indigenous psychology and Liberation Psychology.
Again, thank you!
Eastern philosophy has a lot to offer to modern psychology amd mental health
Really?? I took a Psych Theory class at my college back in 1983 and there was a Jewish psychologist (sorry, can't remember his name), who survived the Holocaust and theorized that some people transcend all needs through a belief system. (He had met some in the concentration camps who were very happy regardless what happened to them because of their belief in God).
@@rabbit251 Maslow's self transcendence isn't about transcending needs. In my understanding, it's more about breaking beyond the borders of ones identity.
Man's search for meaning by Victor Frankl is the book you are referring to. His theory isnt about transcending needs or identity, but that people have a need/desire for meaning making. He talks about how one can push through the most detrimental of situations by creating some kind of meaning. Self transcendence can be one of the ways people can do that, but Frankl doesn't state that explicitly.
5:50 This part about how wealth is measured is is extremely important. In the northwests coast peoples there is a concept called Potlatch. The word reffers to the lavish feasts leaders would host on a semiregular basis, but also to the broader social institution it existed in.
The peoples in question still valued material wealth; this was not an anarchistic or egalitarian utopia by any means; but physical wealth was seen as being secondary to social resources, meaning A) the respect of the broader community, and B) the loyalty of their immediate followers. So leaders who hoarded too much loot would eventually end up giving away and-or destroying large portions of it in massive multi-day festivals to secure respect, loyalty, and good-will.
Personal gain and the well being of the community were not seen as being opposed to each other, but as feeding into each other over time. A man who gave away half his money, and threw the other half on the communal fire pit, but gained new followers and renewed the loyalty of his existing ones, would consider this a fair trade.
Their rivals would likewise face social pressure to produce even more extravagant Potlaches, sometimes to the point of ruining themselves in the cycle of one-uping each other. There are many stories of leaders making fools of themselves in their paradoxically generous greed. This essentially acted as a kind of release valve, in which the accumulation of wealth and power would be regularly counteracted before reaching excessive levels. The system was remarkably stable over time, until case no. 394327 of Colonialism Ruining Everything.
Some other societies seem to have evolved similar practices independently, for example the Koha custom in Maori society, or the Kula Rings of the Kula isles. Well worth a read if you have the time.
That's really, really fascinating! Thank you for the info.
Hm.
I feel like this sounds like a manipulative community.
The people with a lot material wealth give a portion of it to buy respect, loayalty and good-will.
People with less will not get chance to take part in getting respect, loyalty and good-will.
I would not support that in any means. Wealth should not be burned up by massive festivals to secure loyalty.
It should never get the chance to accumulate in that amount
I'm so glad you brought up parenting in this video. It would be nice to see more anticolonial approaches to resolving interpersonal connections. The most obvious one that comes to mind is how different cultures approach intimate relationships and sexuality, but there's not a lot about maintaining/resolving familial relationships. In an individualistic society it's a lot easier, and more acceptable, to cut off relationships with abusive family members. It would be nice to hear how conflicts like domestic/child abuse are solved in more collectivist societies, especially when it comes to intergenerational trauma
I would love to learn more / see a video about this topic as well
broke: individualistic hierarchy of needs
woke: decentralized cooperative web of needs
What's odd though is that there's no connection between the arrangements of different needs in a model and the way of obtaining them (individually or cooperatively). The nodes on the web of needs correspond to different needs after all, not different individuals.
@@TheJayman213 yeah i could have probably phrased it better, i was just making a silly joke
I don’t think I’ve ever heard my own thoughts articulated so clearly and concisely.
Thank you!
as someone who works in health care, specifically assisting folks with developmental disabilities, every year we "train" on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. working for a non-profit, they have no issue making your top priority the self actualization of the people you serve (which it should be) while suppressing wages that keep you struggling for basic needs at the bottom of the pyramid (paying rent, food, etc). like so many other industries, for profit or not, they keep creating more levels of bureaucracy to justify high salaries of executives and administrators while wringing their hands about raising wages for those doing "direct care" (doing the actual work of supporting the people we serve) because "it's not in the budget".
Isn't that how it always goes???? Why is it the ones WHO DO THE WORK, the actual most important part of the whole operation, get paid the least?? Now where's the justice in that???
My minimum wage laws of $25/hr for all workplaces with 25+ employees and executive pay limits and mandated worker representation on all major decision-making boards would fix that.
Eh too bad to date I'm just a random nobody (for now at least).
damn i was just thinking about Maslow’s hierarchy of needs yesterday…great video!
I know me too I've been trying to think division of industries along those lines for a mixed model transition towards socialism.
Highest need = Nationalised Industries
Belonging needs = Coop Industries
Self Actualisation needs = Passionate specialists (i.e. ethical greed)
This way if people want a fulfilled life via working essential industries they can be a civil servant working and supplying their community.
If people want to increase products to make luxury or complex goods (i.e. instances of "better" commodities) they can work in coops taking advantage of the public infrastructure and giving a responsibility to repair infrastructure.
If people have passions to create art gain highest level skills in an area of knowledge and have wealth in a life where they cycle and provide either enrichment to others or advancement to industries they can but knowing it's extremely harsh and profit driven however the capital would be crowdsourced by the coops/nationalised services via their tokens/whatever replaces money or maybe money if it still exists.
This seems like a model that could be administrated.
"In our society, parenting most often takes the form of strict domination, discipline, and control." Man, I must be lucky. I didn't realize that many people have that bad of parents.
Oh yeah, No shit. Dad wad also guilty of this as well. So too was mom and Grandma. I mean no kidding. So the choices are either
A: Alienation
B: Isolation
C: Not being with friends and family
D: Poverty tourism
E: Being in the military
F: Destruction of respect
G: Bullshit jobs
H: Social media validation
So, there's this term that's been gaining cachet in the past few years: generational trauma. It got a huge boost in popularity from Coco and Encanto. It's an entire thing that I can't do justice to in a TH-cam comment. Some people are extremely lucky in that their parents' parents were good at parenting, so their parents didn't have any trauma to pass on. Some people are fairly lucky in that their parents broke the cycle of violence. And the rest of us were simply not lucky in that respect. My parents largely didn't have the will to control me; they tried but they couldn't get it to stick. I consider myself lucky.
Yeah I have never really been a fan of the way Maslow's hierarchy was illustrated. The Pyramid structure makes it look like the needs are standing on top of each other while the circle structure makes them seem interwoven. Also it is interesting to learn that Maslow based his work on his observations of Canadian indigenous people. Thank you for the video!
I clicked like and subscribe just for the thumbnail. While teaching 9th grade English and Reading on the Mexican Border, I introduced the school year to my students with this concept. The other we used was Bloom's Taxonomy. These two pyramids had been drilled into my head in college, and they were key to my surmounting my own personal and cognitive problems. Why not pass on the keys to the kingdom? In good faith, at the levels of Bloom, my students customized their own versions. Many came up with SPLITTING need for self esteem as its own level. Maybe the best way to teach is not content or narrative at all, but METHOD. CRITICAL THINKING FIRST.
This is a great video! Part of what I've enjoyed as being a counseling student in recent years is the expansion towards multicultural perspectives that have opened conversations up surrounding figures like Maslow and their theories. As someone who seeks to become a counselor, we need to rethink psychology and areas of help like therapy if we are going to be able to provide the help that the field is capable of. I still need to read more into it in my free time, but I've been recommended reading books on the topic of liberation psychology and would like to recommend "A People’s History of Psychoanalysis: From Freud to Liberation Psychology" by Daniel José Gaztambide. I've only read into it a bit so far, but if it's as good as some of the literature I've been reading surrounding courses and perspectives like those found in multicultural counseling, I'd consider it worth a read.
I remember, that when I was teenager and Maslow's Hierarchy was introduced for me, it "sounded legit" and therefore I believed in it. But today, I see it different. It is non-sense. I see more, that when ever there is lack of something, it rises on priority to fulfil. And bigger need is (at moment), stronger it rises from priority. Some needs are more easily rising as big priority, like we need food quote often, if possible every day or multiple times in every day. Need for water is even easier rising as priority, since it is more easily depleted. Air even more, since we would need keep breathing every second, if possible.... BUT, how different things are prioritised at any moment... different persons have different "resilient" for some need. Person x goes more easily hunger than person y. But this even change in different eras and different situations by same person. I was very skinny once, ate rarely. Then I quit smoking and started eat much more. And in some point started again eat bit less, but not as little as earlier in past.
I would say, that generally priority is highest by need which as not-fulfilled is biggest tread to your life. But this is not always in case. People can learn alternate priorities, rise resilience against some need, lose resilience against some need, etc. For example, in battlefield people end make different decisions than in everyday life. Killing other people (what they would not normally do), or save some ones life... etc... It is not fully the situation, since both side soldiers want believe that they are "defending", often ether sides do not want kill, but they are pressured to kill. Teached that they should do that in that situation. This just one extreme example.
it's food security not simply food isn't it?I might be momentarily hungry because dinner is in 2 hours, but know my meal is coming and that i'll have food tomorrow, so that need is met, but someone who just walked out of a soup kitchen has a full belly but doesn't know if they'll eat tomorrow does not have their need met.
@@kaiserruhsam Not really. If you do not have food at clock time you usually eat, you feel bit hungry. If next day from that, you still didn't have any food, you are much more hungrier than day earlier. And next day... and so on. Eventually you will die, if you do not get food. It may take one month, if you have access to water but not to food. (So keep it in mind, when reading news from Yemen or other places, that people who are starved, didn't skip one or two meal... but days and days... Or ate too little, less than needed. Or ate too low nutrition level food or "food").
In capitalism everyone do not have any more basic skills to get food, but also society or community does not any more share food. Food is behind of imaginary thing called as "money". Society - structures of society, ways who it is organised, tries to push you to obey status quo in order to get things like shelter (home) and food.
If you are worried do you get food tomorrow, it is not so much question of fulfilling need of eating, but question about our society and its structures. Cat and wolf have same basic need for food. Domestic cat possibly get that food from communion - from human - for free, no money is asked from cats. Wolf will hunt their food. Their worry for food rise only if there is lack of it. And human is animal too. Humans alternate more of their own ways of prioritise things, than most of other animals.
Years ago, I was in situation where I needed to think, do I want smoke (tobacco) or eat. I didn't have money for both. I do not mean this as one moment, but generally: prices were getting higher, and same time I got higher punishments from not obeying society and its rules.
I chose food, and quitted smoking. But I can see that lot of people, high likely majority of people, would chosen tobacco or some other addiction over food. For many reasons. It is not easy to end your addiction, and you will feel much worse much sooner, than with lack of food.
Need for food is not binary thing. It is not "fulfilled" or "not fulfilled" (like Maslow's hierarchy of needs make you easily to think). It is question how deep it goes, and what consequences there is (depend of all details of things...). I may be time to time with very little of food for day or few. Eating just cheapest noodles or similar. After 2-3 days, energy level start dropping much, and really need to good meal, or cannot functioning normally any more. If you do not do things like that, you may live in illusion, that need for food is just that feel of hunger. (In my case those days with little food is not even question of lack of food, but more often lack of bothering to go to shop and buy some...).
In capitalism, most of cases, if you do not have money for food and shelter. You are more likely to feel bad - not so much because you have lack of them (shops are full of food - technically could just take and eat. And there is no lack of houses or buildings ether, there is lot of empty ones, or ones which could be used different way...), but instead you feel shame by not pleasing your society, your community. Not fulfilling what you are demanded to do (get enough money for things - do things to get money). It is different need, to come along with other humans in your communion or society. And you can go much deeper in thoughts with it... But I do not go now.
(I personally have much less need for be accepted by society, so I do not suffer much of "shaming" or not do things what I'm pressured to do. And this is one example, why "hierarchy of needs" is nonsense. Different people have alternate priorities in different needs, and even same person can have alternation for priorities in different situation or different parts of their lives. I once had strong need for smoking in part of my life. I do not have that need at all any more. Need for food change for me often, based on close history how I ate in resent months, etc. Some people need for please other people, society, may be so high that they are more willing to starve to death, than broke rules... or so. Everything change so much, between individuals, and during life of same individual, that there is no base for idea that there would be really "pyramid of needs" which would explain phenomenon of needs for everyone. Instead you need look every need individually and see what are things what effect on them, and what is consequences of not filling them properly).
Wow this part about being born self actualized is everything!!! We are the ones we've been waiting for. We just must realize it first. #healing #healer #cohealing #justice
Terrence McKenna once said "culture is not your friend... find the others" we will only find the others if we look, and as well as putting our voices out there for others to find.
I thought I could smell the colonial logic in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. It goes to show that even when an idea comes from indigenous people, it gets warped in order to serve capitalism
It doesn't come from indigenous people. Maslow modified his hierarchy (by including Transcendence) after seeing how it didn't explain the Blackfoot tribe's way of life. Most people (including myself) have not seen the this modified version and in fact are taught simplified versions that further instill colonial logic as you put it.
cocainum
It is if you interpret things in a marxist lens like this hack channel
I need stable friends
Good luck dude
Omg me too i was just thinking of how i camt handle.the thought of abandonment
Unless you meant mentally stable people
I hear Maslow referenced a lot but never thought to research it enough to know what all the needs are and to understand them.
So thank you for educating me on this popular intellectual reference point and then re-educating me on the subject.
Thanks for this. It's astounding (but also utterly predictable because settler-colonialism) how many "enlightened" ideas in Western social thinking are a distortion of some non-Western, indigenous worldview.
First of all I really liked this video and I think you made your points pretty clear :D
Second I want to say that this video make me want to share more. I love the feeling of sharing and helping because it gives me purpose. Therefore I will try to put a little more effort into trying to share! Like making dinner for someone I love or just helping someone out in any way possible. In a way, share my time.
I think helping others is a very good way to find new friends and improve existing friendships.
I'm a teen and I don't like how many parents treat their children (controlling, commanding etc.) I remember being a child my self and I was doing the same things then as now: being kind and trying my best. The only difference I think, being older, is having more knowledge about the world, but my ground visions are the same.
Thanks again for a very enlighting video :D
I really appreciate your content.
the reason i searched maslows hierarchy of needs is because it seemed off that it is viewed as a pyramid so i wanted to learn if people view it as if in order to reach the "next" one, you need the one before done. your video stated "rethinking" so i clicked on it. when you mentioned "self-actualization is not something we must work to earn, but something innate" was exactly what I was feeling. because now that ive "self-actualized" ive realized it has been with me this whole time, and it will come and go as i journey. thanks for the videoo
this was extremely educational. awesome video as always. thank you : )
Hey, that art is top tier!
I have taught Maslow's Hierarchy in Healthy Living (though I don't teach it this year 😥) but I will absolutely be using this video the next time I teach it, incredible work, Thank you.
His theory is an essential part of how I work and think as a music therapist and I’ve always applied his theories to how I viewed politics and critique of capitalism
What about MASTODON's hierarchy of needs? That one's way more metal.
On an unrelated note, the Maslow guy looks like Joseph Stalin a lil bit
The only two things on Mastodon's hierarchy of needs are blood and thunder

So much of our modern understaning of psychology is based in white/Western capitalistic traditions (including the strict ideas of gender, sexuality, race, disability, etc) and these psychological "truths" reinforce the validity of those traditions and systems. I really appreciate you for helping me and many other people tear down these ideas.
Amazing video!! You're doing amazing work comrade keep it up❤️
I love using Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as a framework for thinking about all sorts of things and I had no idea that he was inspired by Siksika-Blackfoot society. Very cool.
Amazing video. I've always been apprehensive of de-growth, past non-modernised human communities because of the near ubiquitous magical thinking/religious beliefs that tend to result in gay people like me being killed when found etc. But with modern knowledge if a secular version of this could be achieved it sounds great. I wonder if there would be an ethical way to prevent groupthink spirituality happening in such a system.
I highly doubt spirituality could be prevented in such a system as it's a natural tendency for humans to desire spirituality. However, not all religious groupthink leads to anti LGBTQIA+ societies as there have been quite a few religions that worshipped queer people
Thank you for this! Educators learn about Maslow's hierarchy in school, so it's interesting to think about it in a different way and re-frame it in the context of community and culture. I like the circle idea. I didn't know Maslow learned from indigenous communities and practices. I guess he left some stuff out. Great video! I love The Office picture.
The pretty pictures were even better in this video. Well done!
Great video as always! Also just wanted to say I loved the art throughout and the ending music too! Your captions always help my adhd brain take in information and the visuals are wonderful too :) Thank you for all you are and all you do
Thank you so much for this video! It's gutted me on a deeply emotional level that I can't even describe. It not only showed me that the society I want to live in already existed, but that my some of ancestors lived in it... but also that my other ancestors played a part in taking this away.
It's really inspired me to look more into Siksika culture & history, I honestly know very little about it. My dad never really talked much about it, but also my grandpa never really talked about it with my him either.
going straight to my favourites, illustrated my mind perfectly
This is a good video. I used Maslow's hierarchy when I made a video about praxis because I didn't have another framework to describe it, but this video was really illuminating. Love your channel, you're doing really good stuff
Wonderful video, as always! I really enjoy hearing about communities with worldviews and practices so different from what we experience everyday. It really hammers home that there is another way.
Another great piece. I especially loved two artworks you showcased: Bear by Carl Eay, and The Indian in Transition by Daphne Odjig.
Honestly, I needed hear this different framework for the hierarchy of needs. Such a good video! Too many pshycology classes have beat the pyramid model into my brain, and it's pretty toxic.
Fantastic video. Thank you.
Amazing video. I been thinking a lot and trying to find ways to implement revolutionary or countercultural actions in my community, and I find y'all's videos extremely inspiring and helpful. Especially when you give tips on direct action we can take at different scales.
Please keep up the great work
The info about siksika Blackfoot was so interesting to hear.
The frustrating thing is that the idea of rugged individualism under capitalism is so easily debunked with just the smallest amount of reasoning and any significant level of understanding of history and society. Every major accomplishment in human history has been the result of or enabled by collaboration. The technology that allowed for the floor im sitting on was invented by people iterating on the work of others. The materials were made by someone and it was installed by someone else. People just insist on giving individuals credit for the accomplishments of groups because of indoctrination.

This is very interesting and close to home for me because I live in Alberta
Everyone wants to overthrow capitalism these days. We should get to that some time soon.
I am very surprised my textbooks on ethics in highschool didn't talk about the origins of this pyramid.
You help me learn so much. Thank you.
Every video of yours has been educating me and giving me new perspectives. I really hope your channel takes off and your content reaches more and more people.
Coming back to watch again because I need to internalize it.
This presentation is wonderful, thank you. I’m going to watch it a few times to take it in.
One part of this presentation shows a circle divided into four quadrants - Cognitive, Physical, Spiritual, Emotional. I was struck by the similarities to Carl Jung’s four functions of perception - Thinking, Sensing, Intuition and Feeling.
Found your channel a couple months back through the solarpunk video and just the other day i heard you on a podcast with Robert Evans. its awesome to see two people i like working together :)
Truly so happy to see someone make a vid about this
best left tuber is at it again, very cool saint andrewism
Notice the first things talked about here is the pinnacle of physiological air water food etc. These also form our shared common needs which are needed to make an economy run, which are the pinnacle of the people's interests & why we need a strong gov in the peoples hands, or ones that represent us, like "we the people" over corporations, industries & zillionaires whose interests are like diametrically opposed to our own shared in-common interests: fresh air, clear waters, clean nutritious foods, safe workplaces & livable remuneration, nature in the forms of forests to play in. BTW, forests also stabilize the climate & make an abundance of fresh water & would do so without flooding.
The parenting aspect is similar to the African proverb: "It takes a village to raise a child." Wow.
Engagement.
Thank ya kindly.
thank you!
I love the artworks you illustrated your points with. :D The Siksika ways sound so sane, I don't know if Murica can handle it. :)
Thanks for making this! I learned a lot and you conceptualized a lot of the thoughts I had but couldn't piece together.
This was so good! Thank you.
Oh, I live on Siksika land. Blacl foot confederacy.
Many of us Colonizers are learning of this exact thing for the first time.
I’m really sad that I was originally introduced to tis as an individual and not as part of a community. I also feel sad that I didn’t know the culture behind that model of interpretation
Another awesome vid, Love the choice of artworks.
I really like this nice Inuit art to demonstrate. I don't think "criminality" was such a threat through history because people depended on each other. If you hurt people, they might chose to not share food with you or worse, they might just shun you from social life - ain't no one want to live like a ghost.
I had no idea about the origins of Maslow's theory. Classic Eurocentrism
You have one of the most important channels on TH-cam! Listen up folks
Gosh I love these videos by Saint Andrew!!
Very interesting and beautiful too! The circle reminded me of the doughnut economics talk that has recently done the rounds. To try and get away from community interconnectedness does seem like madness.
Thanks 😊
You are awesome
Thank you. 🙏
Thank you for teaching me a little about First Nations philosophies!
So much love for this video, thank you!
Wonderful video! I think Maslow's hierarchy has some good uses but like you said, it really needs a community component and it's very stuck in the framework of our current society instead of challenging it.
absolutely love your videos!
The art and ideas are fantastic- thanksgiving you!
Awesome video, thanks.
Oh no ... I like this... *prepares*
Love you. Thank you
The more I learn about Indigenous wisdom the more I want to learn
Make sure not to get romanticized view of them. They were as much pile of crap as their white conqueror.
I feel similarly about the socio-economic determinants of health. It should be footnoted with *under a Capitalist society.
I love the artwork you used on this video ❤
Find the book "La Société contre l'Etat" (the society against the State) of Pierre Clastre
It explains a deep sociological fact that contradicts usual theories, on Guarani society. It's a key element of your next thinking....
I lived long in South America also.
for me .Maslow's pyramid is one of the analysis of the primary needs of man .But sensible and linked to current aspects of the contemporary world.
Another quality video
Thank you, this is so helpful, is it ok if I reference in it a video? I wish I'd learnt about this earlier on in my career.
This was super interesting, loved it - thanks! :)
Thanks for the video!
It broaded my view. :D
The „Giveaway“ ceremonies sound kind of two natured.
It can result in “blind” loyalty based on this shared wealth.
More so from poor people. I mean we have a problem with narcistic people.
There has to be education related to a least that topic.
About the spiritual beliefs and long-standing traditions.
I hope they allowed to question them themselves and there children.

Commenting for the algorithm cuz I can only _like_ it once :<
(I'd rather like this video like 30-50 times than once haha)
Edit: Aha but I can like it twice-thriceish using the magic of having a twitter account!
Really great
thank you! I've seen that hierarchy bandied about & it just struck me as hella suspect.
While I will agree that Maslow is pretty popular under the laymen, I highly doubt it is amongst Psychologists. I studied Psychology and still follow the academic world. If it is evem discussed, it comes with the caveats discussed in this video (and more). SDT has replaced the Hierarchy of needs 20 years or so now. Even then, Maslows ideas were mainly popular amongst humanist psychologists (a movement that died before the turn of the century) so yeah...
Source please.
Also, Spiritual needs are not a Psychological concept. Its fine for philosophy, but has no place in science, until you can measure it. That was one of Maslows good points: he didnt discuss spiritual matters but (measurable) life goals.
Excellent
Love the art in this video
Really Amazing video:)))
A timely video, thanks.
