These matters need to be up-dated for quite a long number of weeks.

There is a huge “plague” of publications
both on (i) millions of tons of paper and “newsprint”
expensively derived from the wanton “economicly-infinite” destruction
of Earthlife-essential forests and rainforests.
(ii) in fiction, fantasy, deliberate disinformation,
(iii) in obsolescent-academic-theories universities’ “teaching” books
to the absolute exclusion of key-advances in Knowledge and KNow-How,,
and
(iv) in sensational-scaremongering and consumer-enslavement
through the electronic-and-TV media,
selling us ‘comfort’, ‘plenty’, and ‘security’
in exchange for cash
and of course subservient-allegiance.

How could any permanently low-income individual find their own essential “lifesupports”,
including as well as “this week’s grocery shopping”, and a range of ‘humanising’ lifespan essentials
find defenses against both overt and covertly-subliminal mind-and-purse manipulative-control
by cowardly remotely-bunkered-away mere-luxury-mollycoddled profiteering ‘slavedrivers’
and their captive ‘armies’ of muscle-and-machineguns-domineering mercenaries ?

When AgeUK’s legal-adviser-to-the-public was asked by two disabled and permanently low-income-no assets elderly loyal British people,
“We need some legal-standing and support, for building our own holistic-health
separately from the NHS illnesses and hospitals and suchlike medical, chemists, and ‘alternative-therapists’, please” –
the official legal and constitutional response was
“Under English Law there is no such legal-entity as “Health”;
therefore we can not help you legalise your own holistic-health-building;
but we could take your case to the necessary highest-courts,
costing maybe £2 million (if you could pay us that up-front).
But the case would still probably be lost;
you see, it would involve big changes, all the way up to the United Nations and back”.

How should these and similar Matters be honestly clarified, for all of us ?

Readers might find the “Human Needs Lists” my Max-Neef piblished by Wikipedia, informative :-
Classification[edit]
Max-Neef classifies the fundamental human needs as:
- subsistence
- protection
- affection
- understanding
- participation
- leisure
- creation
- identity
- freedom
Needs are also defined according to the existential categories of being, having, doing and interacting, and from these dimensions, a 36 cell matrix is developed [5]
| Need | Being (qualities) | Having (things) | Doing (actions) | Interacting (settings) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Subsistence | physical and mental health | food, shelter, work | feed, clothe, rest, work | living environment, social setting |
| Protection | care, adaptability, autonomy | social security, health systems, work | co-operate, plan, take care of, help | social environment, dwelling |
| Affection | respect, sense of humour, generosity, sensuality | friendships, family, relationships with nature | share, take care of, express emotions | privacy, intimate spaces of togetherness |
| Understanding | critical capacity, curiosity, intuition | literature, teachers, policies, educational | analyse, study, meditate, investigate, | schools, families, universities, communities, |
| Participation | receptiveness, dedication, sense of humour | responsibilities, duties, work, rights | cooperate, dissent, express opinions | associations, parties, churches, neighbourhoods |
| Leisure | imagination, tranquility, spontaneity | games, parties, peace of mind | day-dream, remember, relax, have fun | landscapes, intimate spaces, places to be alone |
| Creation | imagination, boldness, inventiveness, curiosity | abilities, skills, work, techniques | invent, build, design, work, compose, interpret | spaces for expression, workshops, audiences |
| Identity | sense of belonging, self-esteem, consistency | language, religions, work, customs, values, norms | get to know oneself, grow, commit oneself | places one belongs to, everyday settings |
| Freedom | autonomy, passion, self-esteem, open-mindedness | equal rights | dissent, choose, run risks, develop awareness | anywhere |
The BElNG column registers attributes, personal or collective, that are expressed as nouns. The column of HAVING registers institutions, norms, mechanisms, tools (not in a material sense), laws, etc. that can be expressed in one or more words. The DOlNG column registers actions, personal or collective, that can be expressed as verbs. The column of INTERACTING registers locations and milieus (as times and spaces). [6]
