Which author? When the pyramid is not a product of a single person...may i refer you to source #1

@@PaperbagEve Once again you tend to focus on the details to find "mistakes" instead of focusing on the bigger picture. When I say "the author" I'm referring to all the researchers who have published peer-reviewed papers on the subject of the model. and since Maslow’s theory on positive behavior has been validated through the analysis of more than sixty thousand individuals that support the claim that motivation is driven by universal needs (Ryan & Deci, 2000; Ryff & Keyes, 1995; Tay & Diener, 2011), regardless of cultural difference and age, and that the fulfilment of these needs enhances one’s subjective well-being, one would be stupid not to use the pyramid as a reference point. Just like ANY other model out there, you can always scout for potential misunderstandings if that's what you want. However, the point with conceptual frameworks regarding mental health is not to be 100% correct, as that's impossible, but to trigger thoughts and serve as inspiration for individuals to grow from.

Idk that i ever disputed in the video that human needs exist :), even though the theory is untestable, and you'd be hard pressed to find a satisfactory definition of a need there (both statements from Wahba, Bridwell 1976, p.234)

Re: the pyramid serving as an inspiration for idea generation, sure, that is acknowledged.

The 60 thousand people tested sounds cool to pull up, however Tay, Diener 2011 only tested whether fulfillment of needs is associated with feelings of subjective well being.

Didn't think of the word "fake" as having a necessary opposite, but you're right, there is no real pyramid

Source #8 (quality of life theory, derived from maslow- i studied through it but ultimately didnt include much of it in the video) talks about how this pyramid is used as a lens to look at "less" and "more" developed societes (less developed are generally preoccupied with the basic needs and that makes them somehow less developed....👁👄👁) so, simply put, according to this theory, people in poor countries do not do self actualization :) (jfc) ... all of it, just, so bad.

Exactly!

Thanks! And yeah, i know... I'm constantly looking for the right balance there, problem is that the algorithm very much values when average viewed portion of the video exceeds 50%. When many people click away, the algorithm lets the video die. But i am aware this is made to be almost like ... a 7 minute tiktok, and ultimately i would love to slow down. Good to be reminded this could be too much for some people already.

@@PaperbagEve just take a pause after each paragraph. Really good content. Let a thought sink in. Don't worry about shorts and the algorithm. Well presented content will rank much better. There are those of us who can actually focus for long enough in spite of what the world tries to push.

I mean, you're right, i tend to edit to the point of "not a single empty frame", which is probably too much. Speed and preserving semi-natural cadence aren't necessarily opposites.

That definitely was not the intention of doing the test, i just did what i know many people also did to "show" their inner "philosophy". There can be justifications found for most responses, i think, so your answers depend on what you already gravitate towards.

It is indeed uploaded sped up, it was quite the depresso time in my life and i felt like if i uploaded it the way i naturally sound, people would fall asleep after a few minutes. Also iirc my computer back then couldn't seem to be able to render longer videos.

just checked the audio and holy s.it you're right, lol 😂

Ooo pretty cool, gotta go read about him.

🥹 thank you! With the topics i got lined up, certainly hope so

Didnt know that! I have to look it up

It is great. I read it ages ago, last time when the newest chapter dropped. But i probably should again, one can never have too much of a good thing. And yeah the 00s of Something Awful was a time to behold (even though I haven't caught the very beginning myself). This can't be nostalgia, things genuinely got so much worse 😀

maybe we need to learn from our future mistakes? :)

😅 o no

Sounds about right, why hate if one has love in their life.

Lol Going to hope it's earlier, since I plan to post regularly! But thank you!

@@PaperbagEve Oh, of course! Hopefully so! This just seems like the type of topic that's ahead of the curve, that's all I'm implying. That, and you just never know with the KZbin algorithm! 🤣😅

I'm honored you think so.

And yeah it's been a suff...I mean struggle 😀 but the people that so far decided to stick around make it worth it

Facts, in modern society incel means, any man who doesn't worship women. Also, if you have any criticism towards women at all, even if it's valid, you hate women.

@@PizzaPuncher2 most guys that don’t date or are in relationships,go to prostitutes and that’s if you’re really horny for a woman

Just spent about half a minute sitting in silence, pondering how a person ever even becomes at peace with that reality. And I really wanna write "you're not disposable" but ...

@@PaperbagEveAs boys, we play fight and play as soldiers, fighters, always heroes and brave people standing against injustice, fighting overwhelming odds. It's a fantasy of so many men to fight and save their loved ones from danger, because it's ingrained in us to be our purpose: to protect and provide. If not us, then who? It's not something that enters my mind on a regular basis, but it's sort of way back in your mind, and you see countless examples of it in the world. It feels like a sort of unspoken truth. Not explicit, but implicit. How could young boys not be influenced by it,? I want to say I appreciate your time in not only making the video on this topic, having thought about it, and now responding to my comment. We both know that all life has value. It's just nice to be reminded of the fact that yours is no less valuable, as a man. Thank you.

It's been bothering me for my whole life, but it is nice that it resonates. As it should. Your life has value, and I appreciate the human moment here. I remember as a child, couldn't have been more than 10, because by the time I was 11 we were moving away, my father was in a drunken brawl with his buddies and I reflexively stepped in between them. Maybe I was dropped on my head too much as a baby 😅

@@PaperbagEveIt's nice to bare your thoughts so unfiltered and get a response. I recognise that need too. To be heard and understood. I think on some level we all do, as human beings. You demonstrated an understanding for something that's rarely spoken about, if ever. It feels good to be understood. You were a child. Our cognitive processes aren't fully developed at age 10 or 11. Reckless or brave (or both), you don't think as much about the consequences at that age. I remember doing all sorts of things as a child, but I grew out of it by age 12-13. I don't think humans are fully developed (cognitively) until our early 20's, and some might not even be fully developed then. Perhaps much like we grew up from childhood into adulthood, we as the human species will at some point recognise the futility of war and conflict. It's a nice thought, and maybe it's a fantasy for now, but I happen to think that at least to some degree humanity has learned that conflict can be resolved without violence, and thus no sacrifice of human life is necessary, but then you have certain leaders of large countries (some with nukes) who seem hellbent on sending as many young men as possible to their deaths. I'd like to think that most of humanity doesn't want this, and that the only antidote is love, peace and understanding. The love of a family. The love of a wife and child. A safe, good home. Solid friendships. Anyway, my last comment ended on a slightly bitter sweet note, so I figured I'd end on a more hopeful one this time. With more people like you and I, perhaps this idea of disposability will further diminish from the minds of people, as I think it already has.

🥹 I love that the mythical "youtube algorithm" brought me people like you.

It's true!

I've heard countless stand-ups and only ever recall Bill Maher talking about the way men do locker room talk (was talking about Trump).

I'm happy that ...well, that the way I am is resonating with people, I just wish it could change anything, you know.

I wanna reply something but I always die inside a little, thinking about this comment.

I did not delete anything, promise

Your comment isn't even in the "held for review" category, idk

@@PaperbagEve KZbin does it -- they're censor-happy. (They deleted my second response below, too.) I like to send them a hundred or so consecutive complaints when something like this happens. Creating a headache for them is the only way they'll listen; they don't respond to normal entreaties.

So, something along the lines of the protests against Vietnam?

What do you think about Jordan and other countries vowing to ensure the security of Israel, if they stop?

​@@PaperbagEve I think the ballistic missiles will keep coming in on a daily/weekly basis, because the other countries are in no position to stop Iran from funding that. The Abraham Accords prove that most of the countries in that region are sick and tired of the endless warfare, and regard Iran as a common enemy, thus your point about Jordan has merit. But Iran and a not-so-small-as-we-might-like minority of Islamic ideologues are not going to allow hostilities to stop. October 7th was a huge mistake on the part of Hamas. Israel had a policy of just enduring the incessant petty attacks, but after Oct 7 the war hawks got all the political capital they needed to go to all out war. It's sad for the people of Gaza who are caught in the middle, and it's a normal human feeling to just want it to stop, but I don't think that's possible until it naturally works itself out. I very much appreciate your balanced approach to this controversial issue. I usually find it difficult to read about the topic - never mind listening to pontifications about it - because it has been going on for 70+ years and it's always the same unworkable solutions being proposed over and over, as if they had never been proposed before. In general, it is not possible to negotiate with an enemy whose ideology demands your death.

Re: last paragraph I'm honored.

I agree with you, like I said in the video, different name will not change the suffering, but i think one of the positive aspects of a different definition would be, it would put the scale of crimes of (for example) the soviet union in perspective.
