You can survive just fine with only the bottom layer. Maslow was probably hugged too much as a kid.

>>16160467
Fake and gay. Sex is not a physiological need.

>>16160431
Common criticism is that all levels interact simultaneously and that the definition of needs has a huge cultural component. This criticism does not adequately refute the truth of Maslow's hierarchy within the context our current western society though.

>>16160431
top 3 sound all the same, 4th is a job and almost nobody fullfills the bottom 5th fundamental >reproduction

>>16160432
All organisms exist for the sole purpose of passing on their genes, for they are not immortal.

>>16160676
This is true if you're an animal with no mind to abstract with.

>>16160794

>>16160794
Abstract muh dick

>>16160676
there are immortal organisms what the fuck are you talking about? fucking pseuds having ideas

>>16160467
That's... why it's the bottom layer

I am adding the secret sixth layer and calling it the Sigma layer

>>16160794
This is not true with or without a mind. The use of the word "purpose" is incoherent in the absence of a mind.

I think reproduction is vital for the survival of your memories & consciousness desu. How much do we actually know about the kind of information stored in the building blocks of life?

>>16160431
look in the archives, topic has been done to death
>>/sci/
of course you're not actually interested in the topic enough to do that, you're posting because you want to feed you social media attention dopamine addiction

>How much do we actually know about the kind of information stored in the building blocks of life?
If only there were a science which specifically examines the information encoding and genetic information.

>>16160865
People just make shit up to assign meaning to their lives (I guess Maslow was right about this at least). The fact their model is truly fundamentally wrong is less traumatic to them than thinking about death.

>>16160508
cultures that don't stress the "need" to reproduce tend to die out

>>16160431
One thing I never quite understood about this is how you can cheat at it by "reducing" your needs, i.e. how ascetic monks did not go insane despite not having sex, ever

Are entire tiers of the hierarchy optional?

>>16160431
bump

>>16160431
>reproduction isn't a need. You won't die in a week if you don't have sex, but you'll most certainly be dead, or very close to it, if you don't ingest any water, including through food or drinks, all week.

>>16160431
I've got like 25% of this shit and I work full time.

>>16161039
>social media attention dopamine addiction
aka the chemical reward for the false self perception that you've achieved esteem

>>16161028
They don't need to cohere it. They just need to act on it and everyone loves jerking off. Gooners genuinely live with purpose.
