A Maslow principle
/ The brain obeys the stomach
A monkey will get more excited over a banana than a computer.
Humans on the other hand will get more excited over a computer than a banana, unless of course the human is ‘starving’.
In which case, the Maslow’s principle prevails and the stomach always takes precedence.

A seeming anti Maslow principle
/ The heart is the ruler over brain and stomach no matter what the circumstance
A well fed baby will eventually retreat from the world / refuse to eat and die if, it totally lacks nurturing.
