Notes
Human Biology is Normative Biology. Maslow felt that is it possible to say what is healthy and what is not. For Maslow, this was primarily rooted in the organisms own signaling." "...the healthy organism itself gives clear and loud signals about what it, the organism, prefers or chooses, or considers to be desirable states of affairs."[2]
For Maslow, the healthy choices of the Good Specimen formed the root of human Metavalues.
Maslow had some elitist tendencies, seeming to come rganism his career. He spoke of a "biologically... privileged class," a ".b[3]iological elite" that he felt would be fully exposed in a Eupsychian society. He says he has "anticipated that when there is no longer social injustice to serve as an alibi or an excuse for one's own biological inadequacies, then there might well be a great increase in Nietzschean ressentiment or malicious envy of those who are more successful in their achievements." Therefore, he wonders, how to "protect the biologically gifted from the almost inevitable malice of the biologically nongifted." The only way he saw out of this was that the "any future one-world civilization" the "biological superiors (alphas or aggridants)" would need to become a "priestly class to which is given less monetary reward and fewer privileges or luxuries than the average members of the overall population."
The picture I have here is of the leaders of civilization--the sages, teachers, pioneers, and creators--composing something like the Grey Eminence figures of the past, like monks clad in the simplest garments and perhaps vowing to lead selfless lives of poverty.[4]
His idea is basically to "constitute a board or commission of sages to help humankind make its choices about how to evolve itself, toward which ideal type of human to move, and how to biologically select the good and wise?" He further notes that "this phrasing of the question may be less offensive or frightening than simply to state that some people are biologically superior to others.[5]
Quotes
But quite apart from this, my immediate proposal for biologists is that they recognize that once they have swallowed the normative approach to the human species, or any other species, that is, once they have accepted as their obligation the development of the good specimen, then it becomes equally their scientific obligation to study all those conditions that conduce to the development of the good specimen, and to those conditions that inhibit such development. Obviously, this means emergence from the laboratory and into society.[6]
