The “Rock, Paper, Scissors” of Basic Human Needs


What beats hunger among human needs? In my case, laziness. I proved this today when I looked in my mostly-bare cupboards and found…not much. Just four flights of stairs below my flat—or a short ride in the elevator—a supermarket calls to quench any and all food cravings, yet I settled for an onion tortilla on toast.

What is the third element in this game? Booze, which beats hunger and laziness every time. Alcohol trumps fear. Don’t believe me? The next time there is a tsunami warning in your area, take a walk down to the beach. If there is a bar open, it will have customers.
