Nested Needs Hierarchy

I am “wondering” is “curiosity” is purer than “status”, because curiosity can get you closer to what is essential (i.e. Tim Condon… "what yearnings will truly satisfy the purest nature of an individual"), than “status” which is just another attachment or distraction that gets in the way of our journey toward our “purest nature”. - Brian Brittain

I would go to "core" rather than a value judgment...

the nested hierarchy I have emerged...

core
inborn
direct
indirect
culture
universe

I believe that you can see the meta-relationship with Maslow's work, and what I've done is "individualized" or recoded his "collective" hierarchy of "general" needs.

In my research in the emerging world where life conditions are the limiting factor...I can see the "nested hierarchy" constraining development of needs satisfaction, and polarizing core and inborn needs that have been few degrees of freedom across a contiuum of life conditions.

For most of us, in Century of Self, we have no real constraints (many are self-imposed from inbornness), but in more than half the population of the planet, severe constraints exist for most in ever getting to consider any degrees of freedom.

Helpful Hint: To the extent, we can achieve greater and greater clarity of our needs, the nested needs hierarchy is informed and energized by that clarity, and the less entropy in the system as wasted "energy".

Action Step: Using the exercise attached to this TPOV, try to plot your own nested need system design and look at the entropy as wasted energy and information used up in the "need" organizing design you have now. Resolve to get more of our core needs met at levels that satifice them, without having them bleed out into the larger system of "nested needs" creating larger amounts of entropy in the dissipative process.
