The Myth Of Using 10% Of Our Brains

[ukanonymous]

a lot of ignorant scientist types are now claiming that we use all of our brain which is causing great discomfort in my head.
Firstly if I say I only use 10% of my brain is correct. I consciously controls parts of my body which is probably 10 % of the functions happening within the body. I personally dont use the other parts of my brain for breathing that is done automatically.

If I used all of my brain I could control cell replication having eternal life. The limitations are rather out stretched.

To be honest like anything there must be a way to hack into parts of the brains that cant be controlled.

So what could we achieve when we hack the brain?

Eternal life and....

I would even go far as to say the universe is so huge even the imposible has already happened.

[ukanonymous]

I mean impossible

[woofgang]

then if it has already happened somewhere, its not impossible THERE, come on, do keep up!

[woofgang]

no spath, its not us.....

I don't think you don't know nearly as little about the Universe as you think... but never mind.

I'd be all for a debate too, but there has to be at least some common ground. We lost that when you started talking about scientists shoving rubbish down throats, and what have you. I happen to be a scientist by trade, so it's not exactly a brilliant starting point.

^^ A very large part of our brain is used to store memories, everything from how to speak who we are to what we did last night. We cannot use that part for 'everyday actions' or we would lose all memories totally.

spath fear not these closed in scientists the truth is coming soon

Scientists close off a box of existence, make a few numbers match and then declare they understand the physical laws of this dimension. But they do come in handy as a whole. Just individually they are useless.

[woofgang]

see now it really just got repetitive and boring

[jim360]

"individually they are useless"

Thank you, I'm sure... :P

[woofgang]

jim when it gets to the stage in the conversation where scientists are both useless and a part of the great world conspiracy that controls us, we have left the realm of interesting, if unverifiable discussion, and reverted to the morass of intellectual laziness.

[jim360]

That's just what we want you to think -- oh, what a giveaway!

[woofgang]

but it is isn't it, i mean everbody knows that all scientists are signed up to the grand plan to concrete over the entire globe and kill all the gorillas?

The only thing 3 A's in science a level did for me was to make me chose something else. It's all very well having pages of useless parrot fashioned junk to prove something from first principles but it doesn't really mean anything and it just focuses on such a tiny part of reality.
It's like watching a film with ought sound. Like eating chocolate with no taste buds. Your claims of proof mean nothing. Life does not revolve around anything that science currently understands and if it carries on down the same limited path it never will.
You can code some DNA to heal someone but that does nothing for life when you don't even understand time. The laws of Newton were not a discovery they were merely understanding how things react with absolutely no idea why they react like that.
For me science is as brain dead as a person of great religion right now. Although there is a potential for science to prevail.just right now it's lacking. A lot

[woofgang]

oh that will make all the scientists cry I am sure

Group Hugs are the answer. Who is with me?

That's the problem with stopping at A level Science, though. You barely get any of the picture, and it's just so horribly arbitrary in presentation. No wonder people can leave school thinking Science is a religion. It is not; as taking an in-depth course in the subject at university would reveal in a way that nothing at High School ever does.

That goes for all subjects, of course. Their treatment at school leaves much to be desired, although to be fair this is inevitable as the objective of school is to give a breadth to education, rather than any depth. But if your opinions of Science are based on what you saw at A level that is similar to forming an opinion of Beethoven's compositional skills having only heard "Fuer Elise".
