Aaah. Maslow's hierarchy of needs. I was reading some psychology recently and it turns out that there is no hierarchy - that is, you don't need to satisfy the lower levels in order to satisfy the higher levels. I just wish I could remember the book I was reading that cited this! (although Wikipedia does mention some of the anti-heirarchy research at the bottom of the article).
