what we use

it's a common and falsely held belief that humans only use 10% of our brains, popularized most recently by bradley cooper and jake mcdorman, who, if the present author were to use only 10% of their brain, might assume is the same person. said belief explains that some magical, medicinal, or otherwise pseudoscientific item could unlock the remaining 90% of our brain, turning us all into an amazing human/genius. said belief persists even though it is frequently the target of debunking, with unassailable evidence having proven for a very long time that humans, actually, use all of their brain.

however, perhaps in looking to pure data and brain imaging, the world has been going about proving this false belief the wrong way, for, much like many other common sense beliefs (like the belief that you can get a common cold from being cold, even though it's a virus), it continues to persist commonly and frequently, cited and referenced by creators, journalists, and "bradlake mcdooper" type people, a name this author has invented to combine two white dudes in similar media together. perhaps, instead of using physical evidence, we should have been using inference based evidence. from there perhaps, the greatest argument that we only use 10% of our brains does not come from CAT or CT scans, or evolutionary biology, but from the reality that many continue to say, with 100% confidence, that we use only 10% of our brain. this would, at the very least, explain much of the present author's condition.
