17% Solution



Yes, it's a well known and established fact of medical science research that human beings collectively utilize a mere 1/6th or approximately

17% of the capacity of the conscious mind in making daily decisions. Wonder why... Then, again, sometimes answers raise more questions

than the original question posed. Factor in the commonly chosen path of least resistance (falling on your shield rather than on your sword)

along with the fact that without the heads down, pedestrian drones the hive would die... and, at least, political shenanigans become clear.

absolutely.

I'm surprised Grampy hasn't abolished this myth from his mind. Maybe he's only using 17% of it....?

Isn't 17% of a chemically altered mind only 3% of a "normal" one?

Agreed. I think that people are only using 17% of their mind when repeating such ludicrous and idiot statements.

Wondering if the contrarian viewpoint you've expressed suggests: (1) That the state of affairs in Washington is unlikely to change; (2) That

the internecine forum fifedom pi$$ing contests are a fact of sandbox life; (3) That it's highly improbable our chess ratings will ever improve.

So now that you've been called out on using false information you resort to petty jokes and petty insults?

Source: Brief documentary comment heard on either CNN or Fox within the past few days. Thought it interesting and accepted it as accurate.

You are wrong, and so is Bobby. People use less that 1% of their brains.

But it isn't.

One time a guy was giving some pamphlets on the street that had written on them that Einstein said that we only used 10% of our brains and some guy would teach us how to use the other 90%. I told him Einstein never told such a thing. That even if he told such a thing it would be wrong. And that Einstein was a physicist, not a neuro-something so he really had no say in what amount of our brain we use or not. The poor guy that was handing the pamphlets went ballistic and didn't want to give us the pamphlets anymore.

I think one time, in his old days, he said that as a joke. Gotta love his sense of humour.

Any idea what percent range we do typically utilize in routine daily decision making?
