inflexible needs

Anankelogy establishes your every need as an objective fact

Anankelogy recognizes your every need as objective fact; as inflexible needs. You cannot change at will whatever you may need in the moment. You can only change how you respond to them.

Need-response puts your

inflexible needs

ahead of

flexible laws,

ahead of our social norms.

The reality of our needs evolved first. Our laws and norms then followed long after.

Compared to your need

for water,

or

for friendship

or

for solitude,

social norms like laws or political views are

flexible.

Sure, they can be next to impossible to change. And often don’t need to be changed. But since social norms and laws are not grounded in biology,

they can change.

Your needs cannot. They occur as inflexible phenomena, biologically, prior to your subjective awareness and choices.

They only go away if you resolve them.

Not if trying to relieve the pain, or to suppress them to comply with some authority. Or because others regard them as subjective choices.

Your need for water is objective. You objectively cannot function fully while thirsty, while your body lacks sufficient fluids. How you subjectively quench your thirst for water does not detract from its objective core.

Your need for security is objective. You objectively cannot function fully while insecure, while unable to confidently step outside and not risk harm. How you act upon your need for security does not detract from its objective core.

Your need for self-determination is objective. You objectively cannot function fully while others are imposing their will over your life’s course. How you act upon your need for self-determination does not detract from its objective core.

If your needs are completely subjective and a matter of choice,

why do you choose to be thirsty? Or is your thirst an emotional response to your objective need for water?

How you get that water involves choices.

But needing water is not a matter of choice or subjectivity.

You objectively cannot function while your body’s fluid level collapses.

If your needs are completely subjective and a matter of choice,

why do you choose to be lonely? Or is your desire for friendship an emotional response to your objective need for social connection?

How you seek friendship or companionship involves choices.

But requiring deeper social connections occurs outside of your choices or your subjectivity.

You objectively cannot function well without the support of others at times.

If your needs are completely subjective and a matter of choice,

why do you choose to feel smothered? Or is your desire for solitude an emotional response to your objective need for personal space?

How you seek to get away from others involves choices.

But requiring solitude occurs outside of your choices or subjectivity.

You objectively cannot function well unless you’re free to do some things for yourself.

Only anankelogy makes this careful distinction.

Only the service of need-response prioritizes your needs as objective phenomena. Because your needs persist as inflexible facts, over flexible norms. And over imposing authorities.
