This seems incoherent. If there’s any psychological truth to Maslow it is meaningless to try to “overthrow” it. Going from Maslow to concluding leviathan is... silly. Maslow in some sense applies to all 100k years of history. Leviathanesque monarchies account for 2k at most

hm, blame the limits of twitter, maybe, but afaict it seems silly and incoherent bc you're reading me as arguing the exact inverse of what I am arguing tbf I am arguing from a *slightly* heterodox reading of Hobbes & his place in the schema of early modern political philosophy

don't think they have to be clearly foreseeable as long as they're still iterated refinements of base ideas that were laid out in the 1700s. we have QM, relativity & mature non-euclidian geometry now but lots of problems are still solved in euclidian or newtonian domains
