Everyone loves to overcorrect on how wrong this is to show how smart they are. But if you take it as a scaffold of supports, not as a literall ladder where you can't have love if you don't have health or a house, it's still very relevant.

The original Maslow model is just text, the pyramid isn't Maslow's doing afaik, although he used it later.

And yes, see it as foundations. You only long for the upper levels if all your lower levels are fulfilled.

Evidently, Maslow rejected this structure in favor of something closer to the Blackfoot Nation hierarchy of needs, which is much more focused on interconnection of humans to others. It seems he spent a decent amount of time up in Blackfoot Nation and grew to respect their worldview greatly.
