  19. cosmosscience answered: You can’t just say “average human”. We’re all different. We all think different and function different. What’s average supposed to be?
  20. austinismyname answered: I’ve heard that the whole “10%” thing is bull although at times you use a smaller portion compared to what you use at other times.
  21. ignatius-m answered: Probably about 100%. Our brain grows to fit needs. Stuff might fall into disuse, but it won’t be POWAHS BEYOND IMAGINING. lol

  23. realcleverscience answered: I don’t know if we have a real way to measure that, but the whole “10%” thing is BS. I even called my psych professor out for citing it.
  24. spilt-tea answered: It is a myth that we use “only 10% of our brian.” The human brain is entirely active all the time.
