The phrase Human Potential refers to the full and actualizable potential of the human individual and the human species. Actuation of full potential requires Sufficient Satisfaction of the Seven Essential Needs, from birth through old age.

Notes

Note that actuation of full human potential requires Sufficient Satisfaction of the Seven Essential Needs.

There is, of course, the important question of "What is full human potential?" That's hard to tell because the human species has never enjoyed an optimal environment and, what's worse, the Accumulating Class have been suppressing potential for thousands and thousands of years. I suspect though what we see now is a pixelated shadow of what once was, and what could be.

Note that Abraham Maslow speculated a bit[1], and I'm sure so did others, but I'm not going to bother to look them up.
