If you don't have a really good feeling for what an aggridant is, you're missing out on one of Abe Maslow's best observations. Start with the Dove chicken experiments in the cafeteria situation and find out the magical quality of the good choosers--the ones who chose what was good for everyone.
If you are like most, you have missed 95% of what Maslow had to offer us. And most of you still use the "famous triangle" to describe the hierarchy of values. But if you dig a little, you'll discover that the Blackfeet taught Maslow in 1938 that the triangle should be flipped upside-down to demonstrate Maslow's values hierarchy, as in "You don't grow a tree from the top." The idea is that we come into the world as one defenseless child and become contributing adults by social means and links, which also teach us what we are good at, etc. And it all ends up at "SELF-actualizatiion" which means that we have something unique to give the whole. Ever heard of APTITUDES? We have forgotten those. But without knowing your "down to the metal" aptitudes, you don't even know which is your shooting eye, and might have been costing yourself lots of points along the way.
Most folks think of SA as sitting atop the "famous pyramid" looking out on the world as some sort of ruler, but what it really boils down to is what you and you alone have in your bag of tricks to offer the world and what you will work hard at giving to the world. It's the givers who count, just like Teddy Yellowfly taught Uncle Abe in Alberta years ago. Or as Ben Cohen put it, "The community supports that business that supports the community." If you think only of what you can take from the world, you are no aggridant class human being.
Next, I'll tell you a little story about some aggridant prisoners in the Korean war and a little about their magic.
Start using the word if you want to make some useful change. And watch for curious eyes.

Operating System Engineers
A stack must converge with a user's world. One builds from the bottom up. Else, it's just throwing out trash from the sewer and gumming up the works. Use Maslow and build from the bottom, ignoring the trash floating above. If I don't need X.org, why burden me with it?

Aggridants and Oaths - Lukasiewicz Loadings
Divulge information if B-gravity > D-gravity. Simple. Very simple.
See Maslow's B-values on this. If it isn't quite beautiful, think about it. If it isn't quite beautiful and questionably just, pause. If unbeautiful and unjust, is it funny?
If unfunny, duty is to the many.

Google and the Aggridant
Google search on aggridant or aggridants is interesting. The word seems to be useful in terms of the B-value of Uniqueness and this should be added to the appropriate Pearltrees.
Need to add "Abraham Maslow" herein to check the Newsreel and wire the word better to "Abraham Maslow"

Action Maze Design Criteria in Cloud Boundary interface (membrane viz. found in Lukasiewicz-Kirchhoff Machines). Variable: reaction time and correlational analyses with other instances down the maze. This would show "RT bandwidth" which seems to me to be a missing link.
Design could randomize maze nodes along arbitrary axes. B-values, perhaps, for the fascinated psychologist-mathematican-historian-transcender!
And with the patented "Cannon Homeostatic Bonnet" it all makes perfect sense when you change over to the torsion pendulum. Huh?
Clara for those who understand and are bored. What would her Z score be, I wonder?

Let's extend suicide bombing into it's covering law. The whole thing started when Lord Bubba tried to teach them about the boundary functions.
He told them that to infiltrate the other side and therefore insure a positive entry, you first have to atomize yourself. Lord Bubba meant that you had to go into the future by spreading your spiritual self thin, not your body.
The Mechanomorphs picked this up and are now treating it like the
rag in the mouth of the dog. And they have been convinced that
the whole thing is about getting attention, regardless of value.
Like Maslow would say, if you blow yourself up, the game is over.
Any mentor who counsels his student to call attention to an issue by blowing himself up is necessarily a sociopath because he shows no concern for human things. He is in a world of his own, quite delusional. Yet he still has influence.

A single word brought you here, and it will prove to be a uniquely important word. That is because the word, "aggridant," is a nidus.
It is possible to trace the word from today back through Abraham Maslow, and further back to W. L. Dove. Similarly, one can trace "self-actualization" back to Kurt Goldstein. By crossing corpae with vocabulary words, piles are formed around the words. These piles can be studied in terms of differential gravities in the holarchic space.
So in terms of the History of the Future of the Web, the word tree of "aggridant" can be traced exactly (as of July, 2009) to Dove, so "Dove" and "aggridant" and Maslow and other buzz on "aggridant", etc., gets wired back to the nidus.
In Web 3.0 terms, an aggridant is a "complete" (as in metric space where the tails of the asymptotic subsystems stay inside the membrane) representation of a sub-group in a uniqueness hierarchy or holarchy. It is a vector space centered on the nidus surrounded by vocabularistic clouds which will eventually tie humans together in the Interocitor. But this is under wraps at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

Chomsky on BBC saying that "best way" is from below (bottom up). Implies that real change "never" comes from above, because all of these people are rotten bastards. (Vulgar Marxists).
This denies the fact that virtuous leadership is possible. Chomsky seems to forget that he can be a humanist and not know it, just like one can be happy and not know it. One just needs a map, as Colin Wilson so aptly maintains.
Dichotomizing is a disease. Dichotomy transcendence is the key, but we can step forward into growth (up) or backward into safety (down). Looks like we might be learning what to do with the word "species."
Problem seems to me is lack of teachers' abilities to spot the early sociopath and pay him special mind. If he is also highly intelligent, he'll wind up as Cheney-type. Our "government" is our semi-permeable membrane, which is supposed to keep out all the bastards and stinkers. Once they get in, they can rise to the top like anyone else, but their Weltanschauung is kaput.
See the "Puritan Gift" book.
What this means is giving our kids MAPS--Cognitive Maps--of healthy people, not sick ones. Everybody knows about Uzi's before they learn about B-memes. We live in language. Language is our gas and there is a stoichiometry for it. There could be a meaning sieve, etc. Metalanguage represents the umwelt and must not be forgotten. But most of all, show healthy examples as well as dystonic ones. Obviously, we've let a hell of a lot of crooks run the show of late. Enter, the Orthomentor, cracking us back into shape no matter how painful the fun. (One must ask about ineffective programs here in terms of Maine, etc.) Columbia is now good example of total waste of resources. Need to spend the money on educating the young about how to have a B-life.
