About Mind Usage

Note:

	Does ANYONE have any DIRECT evidence of that 'humans only use 10% of
their brain' statistic?

	As far as I know, that's an urban legend. Anyone you are likely to ask
has 'heard' of this statistic from someone else.

	Now, what I think the problem is, is the difference between two statements-

Statement 1-
	You only use 10% of your brain's potential.
Statement 2-
	10% of your brain is active on the average.

	Statement 1 is, I believe, a misunderstood version of statement 2. Only
part of your brain is active at any one time- signals tend to sweep from
one area to another, as information is processed. HOWEVER, this does NOT
mean that we aren't utilizing part of our brain.
	It has also been noted that more 'intelligent' people often have less
brain activity when solving a problem that less intelligent people. The
theory is that high brain activity indicates a lot of thought.
Intelligent people's thoughts are organized in ways that solve problems
better, so it takes less thinking.

The upshot is, there is no good way to expand a human mind. Also, you
CAN'T treat the mind as a computer bank. Computers and brains operate in
very different ways. (Yes, there ARE similarities, but people seem to be
taking huge liberties with information theory!)
