Introducing Anankelogy

Ananke is the classical Greek word for 'need'. Anankelogy is the disciplined study of need. 

Anankelogy illustrates how a prioritized need exists as an objective phenomenon. What until now we have delegated to divisive politics and adversarial justice can now be scrutinized with more precision and thoughtful discipline.

Anankelogy illustrates how a natural need exists as objective phenomenon. As such, it can be impartially observed, predictably determined and empirically measured. We can understand needs much better than we ever could before.

Anankelogy Foundation covers this new social science in three forms: academic, applied, and accessible. Explore each in more detail below.

Anankelogy 101

A need exists as an objective fact, independent of human subjective experience. Such subjective experience follows in response to an objective requirement to function.

Anankelogy 102

Emotions exist to personally convey needs. You don't even have to feel them for them to do their work. Emotions set your body in motion to respond to something it requires.

Anankelogy 103

Each need begins with something falling out of balance. Emotions then prompt you to get the necessary resource to restore you to operational balance. 

Anankelogy 104

You unfortanately cannot fully resolve every needs. Some needs resolve only partially. Some do not resolve at all. The less your needs resolve, the less you can function and the more you sufferin pain.

Anankelogy 105

Fully resolved needs enable you to function at your peak potential. Most of us only partially resolve our needs. Or suffer unmet needs. A few of suffer on the brink of ending it all. Introducing defunctions and refunctions.

Anankelogy 106

History demonstrates a swinging pendulum between one set of needs receiving full attention at the expense of a different set of needs. The swinging back the other way when those neglected needs gain wide support.
