I think this here is the reason why I, as a young boy watching startrek with my dad back in the 90’s, felt like I had to pursue self actualization and other higher leveled Maslow hierarchial needs even though the environment around me was and still is just looking to satisfy base needs,
Now that I’m thinking about this out loud I guess this could also be applied to 1st world countries as well , their base need being money/food/resources/safety i.e. first level of Maslow’s needs.
For context as a child I moved from a 1st world country to a 2nd or 3rd world country depending on how you look at it.
