Time to take your RED pill – WAKE UP!!
Maslow’s Dog springs from the combination of two ideas that have been around for quite some time.
Most people are familiar with Maslow’s “Hierarchy of Needs” pyramid (1954) which discusses that fact that no person can reach the next level of social or financial evolution without satisfying the needs of the previous level.
For instance, we need to satisfy the bottom level, the Physiological level by obtaining food, water, sleep etc… before moving up to the Safety level and so on. This shows how some people who are struggling to just exist (such as the homeless,) do not deal with esteem and relationships daily. Their need for food, water and shelter trump these needs above on the pyramid. However, the wealthy business man or house wife is constantly working on their self-esteem through trying to get recognition from others and attending self-help seminars.
The second part of Maslow’s Dog originates from Pavlov’s Dog (1902). In this experiment, Pavlov discovered Classical Conditioning. He would ring a bell whenever he fed his dog and discovered that over time the dog associated the bell with food. He could then ring the bell and the dog would salivate in anticipation of the food.
Hence, from these two concepts the idea of Maslow’s Dog comes alive. Unless you are at the top level of the pyramid there is always someone ringing your bell and conditioning you to behave as they would like you to.
In society, the top of the pyramid represents the 1% of people who own 48% of the worlds wealth and the balance is represented by us, the 99% for whom the bell is rung.
Maslow’s Dog is dedicated to exposing the truth to as many people as possible. The red pill is available and needs to be taken.
WAKE UP! Your life is not your own!
