Maximum productivity is achieved by maximum comfort of living. A classic example is cattle. The better their life is, the more milk cows give and the better meat they have. The same with humans. In order to be productive, they need to have secured jobs opportunities and coupling. What we have now is terrorizing citizens, because if they lose their job - they can easily become homeless and die on the streets without medical care. Also nobody cares about coupling, because people are not taught how to find a matching partner and because of this many families are dysfunctional that end up divorcing. As you can see, modern society if far from being productive.

Try again, this is patently false.

Dude, he said cattle.
Your argument is ... Moo.

why patently false? It seems the more needs on the lower part of Maslow's hierarchy that are secured, the more it frees one up to be productive. Can't be productive if you are worried about safety, where you're getting your next meal, etc...

If you're not worried about anything, you're fat and probably asleep.
