Good shit, I was thinking about Maslow as a matter of fact after reading some of the responses here. Interesting take on how not relying on others as we move up the hierarchy as it relates to true independence.

The dependency on others is an inherent security risk. Smart people only establish dependencies on others if they can mitigate that risk. For example, banks won't loan you money if you have a history of not paying back loans. I believe we all recognize this trade-off in many places, but not enough. How many "high IQ" people still upload their life events to fraudbook or twatter and then act shocked when people are blocked? Even getting used to buying all your food at a grocery store is risky. Efficient, but still risky.
