 The idea is frequently represented by a segmented triangle diagram, with basic foundational needs near the bottom creating the stability to enable {{w|self-actualization}} at the top, at least in the 'simplified' version.

Despite the impressive accomplishment of constructing such an edifice, Cueball apparently feels entirely unfulfilled, and is "honestly questioning [his] life choices".

	{{w\|Maslow's hierarchy of needs}} is a psychological model initially proposed by {{w\|Abraham Maslow}} in 1943. It posits that all humans have certain requirements for a healthy and fulfilled life, and that these can be prioritized by how fundamental and foundational they are. The most basic needs are physical, such as food, water, and shelter, as humans can't survive without them in the long term. Then come things like safety, which includes physical safety, but also protection from things like emotional and economic threats. Beyond these come less urgent needs, such as love and social belonging, with the top (at least in simplified versions) being "self-actualization" or something similar.		{{w\|Maslow's hierarchy of needs}} is a psychological model initially proposed by {{w\|Abraham Maslow}} in 1943.

-The title text calls into question the notion that it provides even physical security. It apparently fails to comply with fire and {{w|building codes}}, which is potentially dangerous to both Cueball and his community. Moreover, he implies that inspectors can't even access the building, due to "all the traps". The notion of real-life pyramids (and other ancient structures) being filled with active booby-traps commonly portrayed in fiction, and it seems that Cueball built such traps into his pyramid. Of course, in a modern structure, such traps would almost certainly be illegal on their own (particularly if they prevented authorities from accessing the property), and living in a pyramid full of traps would potentially be a danger to Cueball himself. Even if the structure provided physical safety, if it put him in legal jeopardy (and likely economic danger, considering how expensive it must have been to build), means that it doesn't even fulfill that need.
