Thanks. I agree with a lot of what you said. Having a home is definitely more important than having a job, though my logic was that if you don't have a home (for example if you live with a friend or relative) you will need to get a job to pay for one.

Considering the flaws with this version, I'm not sure a totally accurate revised version is possible. But going forward I'm going to put parts of this basic framework into posts and images, taking into account what you said.

I'm glad you took it in the helpful spirit it was intended. It's not easy to classify and organize our world as some things are not mutually exclusive or easily hierarchical. Sometimes things can be paradoxically equivalent while opposites.

I applaud your efforts. You might find it worth discussing your variation here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs and/or here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Self-help

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs already has some pyramids but there's a huge difference between needs and wants, not to mention self-improvement.

FYI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-help (redirected from self-improvement) does NOT have a pyramid. Maybe it doesn't need one, or maybe you're just the person to develop one - or find a famous self-help person to adapt from.

For example, our SaidIt "Pyramid Of Debate", is actually "Graham's Hierarchy Of Disagreement" (and last year magnora7 added another bottom level for violence).
