3. Brilliant observation

I always think of Maslow's hierarchy as applying to the have nots. Thinking of it from the perspective of the uber-wealthy/powerful puts it in a whole other light.

I don't know how any of their "needs" can truly be met surrounded by a sea of abject misery and hatred. Even with all of their wealth and technological control, there will always be jobs that they won't do for themselves.

Their dependence on others for those types of jobs will be the weak link in their dreams of a perfect world for themselves.
