Do you think that the level below needs to be satisfied before moving on? Sure - the base for survival is important, but does one have to have social esteem in order to reach self-actualization?
I agree that on average - it runs in order.
I reckon most people don't spend much time thinking about what their best may be, especially when it comes to the things that actually affect them.

Yeah, the higher you go, the more quantum state things become. It comes down to what the purpose of life is for that specific person and that cannot be averaged as easily as people need food or people want to love and be loved. Some would say pleasure is the highest purpose in life. Hedonism has pretty sound natural claims behind it. Some would seek enlightenment which could mean all worldly efforts are pointless to them. Achievers want to achieve for achievement's sake... etc.
I was thinking of something and I forgot what it was but it ended in... it is often too late.
