    —“Agency does not exist in a vacuum. Aggregate agency of multiple individuals creates limiting checks and balances, producing a market for cooperative, competitive and pro-social applications of agency.”—Simon Ström Although I would be careful to note that pro-social is a term from marxism, psychology and sociology that refers to working to benefit others (altruism) when there is no evidence of altruism in nature – only kin selection and option buying. Mutually beneficial Cooperation (which I think is the appropriate term here) is simply in our self interests, and we feel endorphins rewards for engaging in it – in part to encourage it, and in part to counter the natural fears of interaction with ‘others’ whether kin or non.

  • We Evolved to ‘feel’ What Is Good for Our Survival in The Pack.

    Just to throw a little operational science in here – humans are happiest when they succeed at controlling their conditions (responsibility) and when they intuit they ‘fit’, are ‘productive’, and ‘won’t be left behind’ (meaning) becauses it reduces the subconscious effort to status-seek or prevent status loss at the cost of cellular damage to zero. We evolved to ‘feel’ what is good for our survival in the pack.

  • Do You Have A Problem With Maslow’s Hierarchy Of Needs, In Psychology (or Philosophy)?

    It’s ‘fanciful freudianism’ that makes sense the same way horoscopes make sense.

    That said it can be stated scientifically as humans, like every other organism, seek to acquire. As they accumulate near term satisfactions they increasingly seek to accumulate longer term satisfactions – for the simple reason that we constantly seeks satisfactions no matter what level of satisfaction we currently possess.
