Thank you, that was my point in a convoluted way. We use so little of our brain power I wonder if we are already hooked up to a matrix and the "unused" is actually in use?
Like the machine figured out how much to let us use to keep us viable and not lose the "crop"?
please tell me you dont believe the hollywood 10% brain use thing. we use all of our brain.
All neurons does something, not every neuron frequently contributes. Having unused neurons is literally why it's easy for us to learn things
You believe the Matrix.
if you don't limit your beliefs to what is supported by empirical evidence then do you believe literally everything?
So you believe what they feed you, fair enough. I have critical thinking on my side, you have follow the herd. No worries, keep on that track.
Are you serious lmao
We use all our brainpower.
That is very sad based on many people I've met
Usually not all at once, because that’s called a ~~stroke~~ seizure
Edit: was wrong, sorry
Stroke is when the brain areas die because of lack of the bloodflow. Or is there some other "stroke"?
Seizure, maybe?
Epilepsy
Exactly what the Matrix would tell us.
Why are morons (like you) always so fucking insufferable?!
Because as my tag for you articulates I have to deal w/ dummies like you.
Oh no, I've been tagged! Wait, I couldn't care less.
Still pretending to have a point? Sad
lol ok bub.
