We Hokkiens have a saying, "When your stomach is full, you get too free."
Meaning, when the majority of you time is not spent trying to feed yourself, you will end up with too much times on your hands and that usually means there will be time for mischief.
Wow, this was incredibly insightful and creative all at the same time. Thanks for sharing, Chris. I try to have this conversation with people often and this is a really succinct way to put it. Never thought about it in terms of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
This is real good. "When you are chronically online, it’s like the bottom two levels of Maslow’s Hierarchy are just chopped off." Or they're collapsed into the higher categories and made indistinguishable. Things that belong in the Esteem category end up in the Safety category and vice versa.

yes, that's probably a more accurate way to describe it!
Great post, Chris. One of the more clear dives into the roots of why and how narratives are so warped in social ecosystems.
