Tonight's debate in Flint: I hope very much that the candidates remember Abraham Maslow

[Mira]

Without remembering the hierarchy of human needs, and that the most critically important needs are at the base of the pyramid and moving upward, this debate could descend into something that is of little importance to the people of Flint who are in need of the biological and physical primary necessities.

They will tune out personal attacks between the two contenders, they will not care about emails or transcripts. They care about how they will be made whole, and how all the culprits will be pointed out, named, and punished.

After that they care about who will best protect them and others in the future, and they will use their instincts to see who is credible.
I will be watching to see how well this important criterion for tonight's debate is understood by Mr. Sanders and Mrs. Clinton.[i/]

1. Sec. Clinton will promise some Kumbiya bullshit

while Sanders will propose to deal with their problem on a more elemental level, closer toward the base of Maslows Pyramid.

Anyhoo, thats my prediction.

2. I'll be listening

Actually I think trusting the gut of the listeners in Flint applies after the tragedy they are living with. Of course the whole country, and even beyond, are also listening. All I wanted to point out how important this particular debate it for all of us to assess the candidates.

3. Maslow Speaks

Look at Abe Maslow's eusychian management assumptions (just Google), and start with #10. Then jump to 1,2 and on down.
What we want, I believe, is "Eupsychian Democracy" too. Another wonderful example is blockchain scheme. It is eupsychian, and follows along down the line.

Oh, flip the famous trangle ▲~▼ and see how it works. You don't grow a tree from the top. The Blackfeet taught this to Maslow in 1938, but he fixated on the mountains in the Alberta background rather than the reflection of the teepee in the water as he was taught. Oh well, he couldn't put together a lawn chair, either.
