I cited the pyramid of needs, because the research behind that basically points to us needing different things in an age-correlated way
The research behind it says that the pyramid is not how humans work. Maslow created it in a non-data driven way and researchers that did try to support the thesis with data failed.
It can be sometimes used as a decent fake framework but if you treat it as a theory that’s research based you are basing your argument on quicksand.
Viktor Frankl found that the need for self-actualization or meaning was strong in internment which in-turn links to d world war where the basic needs often weren’t fulfilled and decided about who made it out alive.
When it comes to the claim that the hierarchy doesn’t exist, Wikipedia links to the Atlantic which inturn links to Louis Tay et al which says:
In addition, the associations of SWB [subjective well being] with the fulfillment of specific needs were largely independent of whether other needs were fulfilled.

Can you provide references, specify what’s wrong with Maslow’s hierarchy, and/or supply a superior model?
