What should we think of these basic needs?? Are they to be disregarded??

The theory of evolution would imply, or have us believe:

• We come from an evolved ape-like creature ...and that seems to define our belonging.

• We have no control over evolution ...and it is possible that we could mutate out of existence to a superior race.  (Seems too much like the mindset under the Nazis of World War II. ---and they wished to control the world.)

• Self-esteem would be rather meaningless without focusing on self-preservation ...of ourselves, and the planet. (We become gullible enough to think we could attain world peace ...in essence, trusting everyone. and of course, we embrace global warming, or climate change warnings.)

• Meaningful existence becomes a mere facade of self-esteem, denying the promoted concept of survival of the fittest, to the extent that a person would deny that a vicious dog is at his heals.
