Gosh Michael. I'm pretty surprised to see a self-proclaimed "divergent 
thinker"  cleave so closely to Maslow. I don't thin that much of anyone 
beyond (extremely non-divergent) business departments think of that 
scheme as being much more than a quaint historical artifact. Yes, of 
course people want food an shelter before they get serious about the 
"higher" think in life, but I don't think that really counts as a novel 
insight about human nature. Aristotle (among others) had been there, 
done that. Try the /Nicomachean Ethics/.

Please continue diverging.
