let's say i watch jersey shore all day long, then go to a club, then come back home and do some pushups.
am i utilizing my brain at 100%?
if i know one language and am capable of learning 8-10, am i using my brain at 100%?
if i can't control my dreams, ie, lucid, am i using my brain at 100%?
if all i do is walk, am i using my body at 100% of what it is capable? so if i am capable of running 22mph, yet, i never surpass 8mph on a slow jog, what percent of my body "am i using"?
if all i do is eat 1 cheese doodle, yet im still hungry, have i used my intestines at 100% of their capability? perhaps, 100% of being empty?
then i think you are correct lbss, if we are only using ~10% of our brains, then we can say we are not using 90% of our brains, which still classifies itself as "using".
so, if you add the 10% use of my brain, to the 90% NOT use of my brain, then I am actually using 100% of my brain.
lbss good point ;f
Your brain is split up into different areas that handle different functions. It's not like any section can be used to learn a new language for example.
If you're not in pain, the sub-section of your brain that controls pain isn't active but it can't be used to learn calculus. It is however being used. If you get kicked in the nuts you'll feel it immediately (hopefully). Other areas are responsible for things like memory and cognitive function among other things. They are solely responsible for those tasks.
You are capable of learning an infinite number of languages if you had the time. Knowing them doesn't use your brain so much as learning them does. If you're fluent in a language you don't have to think much at all when speaking it. In the moment, whether you know 1 language or 50, all sections of your brain are firing and being used (hopefully).
That cheese doodle example...really? What do your intestines have to do with hunger? Ignoring that, they are either being used or they aren't. You could argue that only the sections with food in them are being used but the truth is it's an organ that functions as a whole. If some section were inactive the food would get stuck there. Also, comparing your brain to your intestines is retarded.
fyi, you're retarded rix.
