Interesting thread.
The way I see it mankind will be able to fulfill it's fullest potential in due time. At the moment people are probably at their kindergarten or grade-school phase in those matters and all the suppression and deprivation are part of the plan.

Life is about progress because if it isn't then there's no point in existing at all. People grow, become smarter; civilizations start small and grow big and improve throughout the ages; technology surpasses that which preceded it; so will it be for the human mind and brain.

Think of amino acids as an alphabet, and proteins as words...or run with the Lego analogy.
The brain is 100% used, just not all of it is used to form conscious thoughts. There is no agenda to keep people from utilizing 100% of their brain function. I'm not sure why this rumor persists.
