#maslow's hierarchy

[fallen-angel-adam-frankenstein]

When my class was going over questions we had about part one of 1984, someone asked why there was a shortage of razor blades; my teacher mentioned that shortages of essential items such as razor blades are probably orchestrated by The Party in order to keep its members in poverty. At first one might wonder why the heck they would want their members to have such poor living conditions, but then it occurred to me: it has to do with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. According to Maslow, a person’s basic needs for survival (such as food, water, shelter, and, by extension, a feeling of safety) must be met before they can worry about higher needs such as love, self-esteem, and self-actualization (including creative and intellectual pursuits). Obviously Party members wouldn’t feel safe knowing that Big Brother is constantly watching them through the telescreens and a network of spies, and if they are also kept in a state of fluctuating half-poverty due to the occasional scarcity of a basic need such as food or, in this instance, razor blades, they will be more likely to worry about if they’re going to have enough food or how long their clothes will last and less likely to start committing thoughtcrimes. From Big Brother’s standpoint, it’s genius: keeping your citizens preoccupied with the physical conditions in which they live ensures that they will not have the time or energy to conspire or rise up against you.

Thinking about governments through the lens of Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs.

Early governments formed basically to enable a small group of elites to reach the top of that Hierarchy, which was a cool new thing for humans to be able to experience

Modern governments mostly formed around the idea of protecting everyone's right to try and get there, to prevent government itself keeping some people at the bottom to help others to reach the top

Today, I think we think a lot about whether the right role of government might be to focus more on ensuring everyone can access the bottom, possibly even by making it infinitesimally harder for elites to reach the top.

And the elites on top are using everything they can to stop that.

Maslow before Bloom

In my work as a personal leadership coach, this mantra. People must have their fundamental human needs addressed before we can get into professional development. So my coaching conversations always begin with a real, conscious check-in of how they are doing, as people.

RSA Student: Y-Yuu, I have a special g-gift for you

? Yuu: The still beating heart of my mortal enemy?

RSA Student: N-no

? Yuu: A skull for my collection?

RSA Student: No, what-

? Yuu, confused: Live prey for my precious baby?

RSA Student: Huh?

? Yuu: Is it money??

*RSA Student silently gives them a rose*

? Yuu: Oh, a rose... how ... nice. And you took the thorns out too ... yay. Wait this wasn't supposed to be a love confession, was it? If it was you failed miserably.

Thinking about how when zoro and luffy tried to tear their limbs apart (zoro with his feet and luffy with his hands) nami was always there to witness it, like... poor nami??😭

But seriously, thinking about zolu and how they were willing to lose their limbs rather than accept defeat/death.

Andd, once again thinking about how zolu are very much alike but also very different, how they are very complementary yet also very contrasting... it's definitely redundant at this point but-

Okay maybe i'll talk a little bit from psychology perspective, but i reallyyy love how zolu are very similiar but also different at the same time.

Like they're both 'opposites attract' & 'similiarity leads to compatibility' simultaneously. But im gonna focus on the similiarity aspect.

When talking about relationship, similiarity is usually one of the few keys to success in maintaining a lasting relationship. But like what kind of similiarity? Researchers have shown that similarity in couples tends to be more about shared values and background. And these are the factors that appear to predict relationship success—couples with more similar attitudes, values, and backgrounds tend to experience more lasting satisfaction, companionship, intimacy, love, and are less likely to break up [x]. Like similiarity between couples is more about the values than personality... guess what?

They are just very similiar-

In any kind of way. Personality, values, attitudes, you name it. but somehow also very different at the same time!! Like i can talk about zolu from psychological and i guess astrological perspective cuz they are very compatible that way, but i will shut up for now.

They are just soo ���🫠

u really have to hand it to jojo tichakorn et al for delivering on only friends like it is exactly what it says on the tin. not just the writing and the acting but the wardrobe, the score, the YOLO bar, the dark sexy pink light mood. finally some good fucking food. we got heartbreak and fixed couple mix-matching and a friend group plagued with secrets at the core. we got (mostly) likable characters tbh, with handfuls of significantly unsavory traits thrown in to make everything between them more complex and gray. we got pairings varied in their dynamics, each their own unique shade of sweet and fucked up, each with an endgame that looks like a big old question mark. we got high drama that’s been ramping up more and more with each passing ep. we got boston.

we’re halfway through the series and the seeds of discord have been been sown and i don’t know where everyone’s going to end up but it probably ain’t going to be pretty!! which is everything i could have hoped for by now from the highly anticipated red flag show. it’s nice to have high hopes for a thing and not be disappointed
