It starts within the metaphysical self, for the baser aspects of our human condition cannot be bought away. They exist within all financial brackets.
How people can externalise what they do not want to own as a part of who they are. Project onto another to maintain a dependancy. Either in their imagination of another person or how they depict or treat them. A dissociation, a delusion to survive without an acknowledgement of the inner base of ones psyche can have larger ramifications.
How people run away from the baser aspects of themselves and ineffect create toxic codependant relationship dynamics with others in the process.
Maslows hierarchy of needs while an interesting discussion point, and a relevant building block to understanding human nature, is not something that shall be achieved for every human and we know this. A focus on human need versus environment needed to flourish, has dominated much of western medicine.
For we need what is not needed.
Pattern elements needed in spaces for health creation, determining the aspects of the physical environment that reflect our experience as hominin and therefore what we need for growth is potentially a more effective way to meet need for the masses.
Such as biophilic design principles. I talk of this not in creating shopping malls or investment points for new economies. But within the urban landscape itself for sustainability of human cohabitation with the earth.
For Maslow’s system, while an effective way to determine the levels of order required within what we need as people to self actualise or “transcend”. Transcendance is never achieved from solely order.
It is a feedback cycle of forgiveness, space to have autonomy to forgive. To see forward.
Forgiveness is fluid.
To forgive and self protect, how that relationship wavers again and again for us all as individuals and collectives.
A focus on environment, knowing pattern elements needed within our physical extends include prospect, refuge, mystery and risk.
Material connection with nature, that of nature we revere such as specific plants or noble metals, complexity and order, biomorphic forms and patterns…
The list continues.

Owning our nature, our human need for connection with systems of the earth for wellbeing may be a better mode moving forward than say a hierarchy.
A hierarchy which in effect also may not be achievable for all humans in this day and age.
For we need health in our nature not just order from our health for our needs to be met.
Yet economic growth prevails as a narrative to achieve order for our “needs”, and the IMF now scale countries on how ready they are for AI.
It seems the majority of our species is in effect catering to the growth of computer consciousness, which forms companies and fills them with a puzzle of people. Humans.
To order us all with hope for some access to income. Also a form of connection.
“Dataset alignment! That is good enough for peoples need for connection right!“
Ticking a few boxes of Maslows hierarchy theory in the process. While visible waste shifts from view, while still present as an issue to consolidate, and opportunity along with human experience further divides.
When a few people on earth could actually create a basic income for all.
For some of our basic needs as people to be met and therefore time to focus on our nature.
As x amount of our lifespan would not be simulated for an empires growth towards what may be in fact be a system that loses humanism, yet we need order and complexities within our systems of statehood…
So again, a focus on how to create that in the physical, reorder nations for duty or conscription that is not focused on conflict per se but auditing of systems, optimizing what exists, to consolidate both tangible and non tangible waste may be another way forward.
One of many.
As the seperation between the state level and the corporate level of wealth and also duty continues to divide in this current global system. Along with power imbalances and the cause for immoral action as a result of said imbalances.
