Right, I'm aware of Maslow's work, I just think it's wrong on a number of different dimensions, or at least incomplete.

Sure, I agree, at best it is a gross simplification.
But it’s useful and, in my opinion, captures the most basic relationship which is that some needs have higher priority than others and will drive those other needs to the recesses.
What about that do you disagree with?
Moving up means those needs are being met satisfactorily and can be maintained without prolonged attention. And if a lower level stops being met, your level will fall to that level until it is met again.
I.e., if you're hungry and don't know when your next meal is, then who the hell cares if you're anxious, angry, or happy? You have more pressing concerns.
