Notes
Maslow's Elitism
Maslow had some elitist tendencies, seeming to come later in his career. He spoke of a "biologically... privileged class," a "biological 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.[2]
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.[4]
