The Greatest Untapped Resource

Beneath all of this is the most human element of all, and the simplest. The greatest untapped resource on this planet is not under any seabed or in any mineral seam. It is human potential — the vast, mostly dormant capacity of ordinary people to perceive, to relate, to create, and to coordinate at levels far beyond what our present arrangements ask of them. That potential is precisely what we are studying. Every other resource we have learned to extract is finite and depleting; this one is generative and, so far as we can tell, inexhaustible — and almost wholly unworked. The Praxis of Presencing Genius is, at bottom, a discipline for the cultivation of that single resource.
