What signals do you look for? Do you decide based on reason or instinct?

    Why does the list grow? How? Who does that? And of course there are more details than just energy/nutrition, water on that list, those are just the most obvious and basic things. You also need breathable air etc.

    The example, freedom, is undefined. People in the USA think they have freedom, I think they are living in a dystopian world.

      Why does the list grow? How?

      Exactly my question too.

      Who does that?

      I observe it everywhere. For example when people say they need a vacation. Or when people say they need strong social bonds.

      It’s obviously not a necessity to keep their body alive. But I do believe they view it as a genuine need?

        People say lots of things, there is no need to take it in the most literal way possible.

          Where I live it made it into law even: vacation is mandatory because the majority decided it’s a need.
