Maslow is known to just about everyone. The word "symbolance" is known to no dictionary and shows up nowhere in my psych texts. And gratuitously throwing quantum physics, existentialism, and the theory of relativity into it (you forgot the kitchen sink) sounded like an attempt to impress rather than be informative.

Of course, you may just be motivated by that second tier of motivational needs and were looking for esteem and respect.

Your ideas are not what got you into trouble. Coming into a new thread and presenting yourself, somewhat smugly, as smarter and more "evolved" while calling the President braindead and the VP psychotic- not nice whatever your personal beliefs may be- was the problem. Those are not "ideas". What is there to say when someone obviously believes himself superior and the sole possessor of Truth?
