You do not use just 10% of your brain.
This is nonsense but it’s the theme of a new movie, Lucy, starring Scarlett Johansson.
Morgan Freeman’s character in the movie repeats the old line.
It isn’t true.
We don’t always use our brains efficiently but even morons use more than 10%.
(OK, maybe that’s wrong!)
Maybe if the screenwriters had used 20% of their brains…
The idea of the movie is that Lucy, a drug mule is exposed to a drug that increases her brain power, giving her the ability to “outwit entire police departments, travel through time and space, dematerialize at will and yada-yada-yada, cut to gunfights, special effects and a portentous message about, well, something or other” writes XXX in YYY.
“There is some speculation, he says, that the belief began with an idle quote by American philosopher William James who, in 1908, wrote, “We are making use of only a small part of our possible mental and physical resources,” an observation vague enough to mean almost anything—or nothing—at all. The real point is, however much we use our brains, we should try to optimize the use. We should apply it to the big problems in our lives.
We should ask the questions,
- Who AM I?
- What am I doing here on this planet?
- Am I doing the right things with my life?
- Am I using all my gifts, talents and abilities wisely?
- Do I even know what those are?
- What is my purpose on earth?
Use your brain for those things.
