As somebody who has lived through about three decades of Powerpoints that begin and end with

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs

where on earth are the management consultancies supposed to steal their "ideas" from to generate new fads now. I'm for sure none of them have had an original thought of their own.

Not sure if this is for or against, but this is a good opportunity to argument why concepts developed “in humanities” are valuable (in case if it’s not obvious :D )

Maslows hierarchy of needs, while possibly inaccurate, is a very usefull model and concept to have. As our understanding of human condition improves, we need specific terms to understand them.

Imagine is there was no word for love or hunger… for aristicracy or oligarchy… etc.

Accuracy and precision is useful. If Maslow's hierarchy of needs is neither, I question how useful it truly is. At best then, it would a narrative device to tell a persuasive story, but the fact that it has no factual basis means you can twist it to tell whatever story you want.

This is a problem endemic to social sciences due to the replication crisis. Lots of social scientists in this article are saying that their field is important to the economy, but given they mainly produce results that don't replicate (~30% replicate last I checked), maybe they should focus on improving that so their ROI is actually compelling.

Easy. They're going to continue to copy/paste Maslow's hierarchy of needs into a new PowerPoint like they've always done.

They've never needed new ideas before. Why start now?

They're gonna steal from optimization. Are we going with an explore vs exploit strategy? We need to get this project into the annealing stage and slow down on big changes. What's the shortest path to an MVP. We need to branch and bound on different features in the prototype.
