So I always felt drawn to the concept of Maslow´s pyramid of needs, seemed to me to have an inherent truth to it, that it explains more complex issues with a simple framework, recently understood what implication of nuclear proportions it is that makes it so irresistible as a tool of explanation. Probably everyone here knows about how you need to achieve lower ranks in the pyramid to their fullest until you can get to the higher ups, like self-fulfillment, self-esteem and social needs, includes safety needs as well.
Didnt understand this for the longest time, I live in the western world and have little reason to fear for my safety, its being cared to by the state to some degree, there ARE safety nets for people who struggle after all, even if they really only work sometimes. Still Ive come around to having night terrors again, panicked that burglars would enter where Im living while Im asleep, went on endlessly in my dreams, implausible for this to actually happen. Used to have these night terrors of strangers watching me while Im sleeping some while back, couldnt really make the connection though.
With Maslow though I came to the realization: I fucking lack the perspective of living a safe life because I dont have a secure concept for the future when one of my biological needs is notoriously not satisfied and theres no outlook for it ever being satisfied either. Fuck people who want to deny Maslow, intimacy is a fucking biological need, they talk about how its not necessary for your own survival, but for years of being alone and having no sexuality whatsoever I suffered from severe depression and a more and more serious affliction of suicidal thought, my fucking mind wants me to die, it cant take it anymore, the strain of starving sexually is too fucking much.
You cant go against Maslow, you just cant, we´re slaves to our animal brains after all, can will yourself to get into the higher parts of the pyramid, but you´ll always bounce back. Suicide is inherently irrational, even under extreme pain, and still, and fuckin still if you dont satisfy your very bottom needs, your biological needs, youre reduced to a state of animality, of fighting for survival. Thats why we´re unable to connect with other people, thats why being incel is a fucking death sentence, you fight for your survival until your brain and body give out and tell you to kill yourself, normshits, foids and chads look on and dont even understand whats going on, they live on another plane of existence. Thats the fucking implication of Maslow, that you dont even get a chance to be human if you dont manage to satisfy the animalistic biological needs, including sex.

Beautifully said man, it makes so much sense
