10% of Brain Power?

It isn't "superstition/delusion", but rather lack of updated information..

Yes, but, this has been updated for some time.

In an age where you have the worlds knowledge at your fingertips, such ignorance is inexcusable.

I think the brain/mind has many layers of redundant functions that ensures we live long enough to reproduce, after that we don't need our brains/minds much. Not that we used our smarts to reproduce anyway :laugh: but it does help us to survive.

It would also explains the mental decline of old age :woohoo: and why some contact sport athletes act (though basketball isn't really a contact sport?) , we've used up all our capicity.

If history has taught us anything, it is that ignorance, spuertition and delusion spread far more effectively than knowledge does. That which gives you "the worlds knowledge at your fingertips" is responsible for far more FUD than education.

Haha Alex, we all do seem to have a habit of varying 'attention' in different ways... so yea perhaps we do use only 10% of our minds most of the time.

Though I'll often cast a question into my subconscious and proverbially walk away to come back later and see what it worked up in response!! Like sometimes if you've lost something, go do something else and all of a sudden the answer just pops up. Though I don't know if I'm recruiting subconscious powers or handing over conscious powers to the subconscious...

I agree ren!!! Hopefully technology is taken advantage of to increase education instead or remove the need for it.

I guess its easier to process simple beliefs in and out of memory, and apply them as tools in perception and decision making... and I guess delusion's are most usually quite simple beliefs - until they develop into complex delusions and I guess that is when they start to become obvious through inappropriate behaviour, requiring some nature of intervention (medical etc).

No, a computer is not responsible for how ones uses it.

Guns dont pull there own triggers either.
