Lol ok i admit i don't know that for sure. But thats what i always thought after hearing it numerous places and also makes alot of sense. And its not that we use only 10% its that we only use 10% at a time. If thats not true then i am sure its close to being true, mabey we use like 25% at a time.
you hear it a lot b/c it's a widespread myth. there are many things that are incorrect, but repeatedly said...like acid makes your spine bleed. and if you're only using 25% of your brain, why don't you give me the other 75%? maybe we don't use 100% of our MIND, but i think we use 100% of our brain
Because you can only think one thing at a time. If you are thinking the most complex thoughts you can possibly think, then think of all the other possible thoughts of a whole different situation that can go just as deep in different directions. Those are all different parts of your brain so how can you use all that information at the same time?
Thats not what i'm debating. I'm saying we don't use our whole mind at one given time. Sure we probably use like 90% of our brain in an extended period of time.
now you're changing your argument and most of your thinking probably occurs in the same area of the brain. the other sections control involuntary actions (breathing, heartbeat, etc), vision, hearing, touch, muscle movement...
I never changed the argument its what i meant from the beginning. And yeah i diddn't think of that involuntary stuff. Mabey we use like 50% at a time i really would like to see research on this though.
well you did say 10% of our brain at first then it was "we don't use our whole mind" (different things) whatever, i can be done arguing it's pretty obvious to me that we use damn near our whole brain
Ok sorry for the confusion. But just curious, whats the difference between brain and mind? The way i see it, the brain is the literal meaning of what the mind is. The mind is just our perspective of how we use it.
brain is tangible mind is not the brain can be pretty well define the mind cannot the brain has more limits than the mind, that's why i think we use all of our brain, but not necessarily all of our mind and hawaiian, me and fresh are on a break, so skip us on the rotation
I thought that the average man only used 10% of his brain during waking life. that number goes up drastically when you slow your brain waves. I imagine the most advanced Yogi's use a good third of their brain in waking life.
I have a pretty good question...Who the fuck cares?Iam ready to start partying this shit up and stop thinking so hard lol
Yeah, it's real. Friend and I have been there. Realized fragments of sentences and primal grunts could not convey what we were experiencing So we switched to telepathy Talked with energy didn't even realize it til later
I think it is theoretically possible for one brain to influence another, perhaps by some wavelike mechanism. Can't say I've ever experienced anything remotely resembling telepathy and I'm very skeptical. But I won't say it's impossible.
while I'd like to believe its possible, I think its highly unlikely... and the mind and brain are one in the same... the brain is the physical organ responsible for the mind... organisms are organic machines... every ability is possible because of an organ or a series of organs. Birds can fly because they have wings... we can see because we have eyes.. hear because of ears breathe with our lungs etc. All of the ways we interact with the world are organic input and output devices with the brain being the computer. Different organisms have different devices or more advanced devices... a dolphin can hold their breath longer underwater, not because they have magical powers, but because they have more concentrated alveoli, the structures responsible for extracting oxygen from the air. We only perceive the mind as special and magical because we can't fully understand the way it works... but then again, how can the mind understand the mind? My point is this... everything an organism is capable of is supported by physical structures that enable it... if telepathy were possible, there would be a physical structure that could transmit and receive some type of waves for communication. Since this structure hasn't been found yet, I'm saying that its highly unlikely.... not impossible, but unlikely, and if it ever is found, it'd be far from magical as we think of it.
by the way... the fact that perception can be altered by chemical structures (i.e. drugs) when our brains function chemically and electrically supports my theory that even our "minds" are simply the workings of physical structures.
