A blunt declarative sentence is not an argument. Perhaps have a go at explaining 'why.' Perhaps also explain exactly what you mean by 'human potential' 'and how you measure it.
Umm, is English not your first language?

Here,'materialism' tends to be used in the the philosophical sense:
Quote:In philosophy, the theory of materialism holds that the only thing that exists is matter or energy; that all things are composed of material and all phenomena (including consciousness) are the result of material interactions. In other words, matter is the only substance, and reality is identical with the actually occurring states of energy and matter.
