I look at the bottom of the pyramid. Breathing, food, water, sex, sleep, homeostasis, excretion.
did not da way try to exert control over *almost* every one of these categories?
food, absolutely.
water? perhaps..
sex? absolutely. to the extent one had to give a schedule of when one was performing the duty with one's spouse..
sleep? yea. Deprivation, for the initiated..
homeostasis? I call this living in some form of normality, or equilibrium.. no, you could not reasonably expect this. Unless one could really "perform"..
excretion. Yes. Exhibited by the insane "sign out" rules when staff went potty..
and the little triangular wads of toilet paper.. don't want to "waste", do we..
I'm curious. Who among the "employed" of da "way" are in the second level of this kind of hierarchy?
