Chris- 
'Resident-life' on many College campuses cling vigorously to Maslowian tenents. 
I believe I remember a recent post detailing how attempts to loosen the grip of 
said ideas resulted in rather unpleasant and spirited rebuff. But you are 
correct, I believe, that the number of groups of converts are shrinking 
(thankfully).

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.
