      According to Maslow, yes, but since most people have access to adequate all-of-these, I'd say it's a good thing to think about.

      Socialists always want to fudge the definition of "adequate" to pretend like people are still on the material-needs rung of Maslow's hierarchy, but real deprivation is mostly a thing of the past. Universal health care is the last piece.

      I would tend to concur except for the fact that objective needs, once overcome, are irrelevant subjectively. The more you have objectively, the more you want subjectively. Dissatisfaction is the default mode of consumer society.

      Sure, and "objective"/"subjective" here is pretty fuzzy anyway. But I'd say at the point where social preferences (having as much as the next guy) start to dominate unconditional preferences (having stuff for stuff's sake), it's now about respect, acceptance, etc.

      It definitely is. And it's as powerful. Like wisdom, satiation might never come. Arrrgghhh.

      Right. But I think the marginal utility of creating an accepting, equal, tolerant, friendly society is higher, at this point, than closing the material gap between people who make $60k and people who make $300k.

      What if they kind of go together is the question, right? (how would we test that hypothesis? existing more equal countries?)

      (my experience with socialism as a teen in a kibbutz was that it's a lot of sex for everybody 😁)

      Your experience with [insert thing here] is always that "it's a lot of sex for everybody", though. ;-)

      attitudes towards sex vary widely across cultures - I can't quite put my finger on it but maybe the incel subculture is itself very vernacular? (at least consider that fact).
