I will help you, go and learn what sience is now go and learn about " human needs " are... people need food and water, shelter, clothes, security, love, friends, family etc etc..this are human needs...therefore we will build, produce etc etc what is needed to fulfill this needs..and the initiative to do this comes also from this needs

So, in order to determine whether I want a taco or a burrito, I will use the scientific method?

[Leveer13]

Use the scientific method to determine what is needed.

In a resource-based economy, how will we know what to produce?
