While I believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinion mine is that the what that person said is absurd. If there were alien races living on the moon we would know it we have technology that would reveal their presence that is commonly available that anyone could buy there is no way that they could conceal their presence thus they are not present. Also a question for Recca: if people do use more than 10% of their brain what percent do they use I have been told by multiple college professors and have read in multiple text books that at any given time a conscious (I have also been told and read that while unconscious people use more of their brain) person never uses more than 1/3 of their brain.

Are you asking me?

If so, I like to think about them, and occasionally research them. I don't generally follow conspiracies, but its rather interesting to see the point of view of the conspirators and those who follow the conspiracies.

It is a fallacy that humans use only 10% of the brain. The average human generally uses 100% of his or her brain.

Not that this is the only thing wrong about that quote, but whatever. I didn't even read most of it. Too long, too psychotic.

actually, humans really only do use about 10% of their brains. some people use less, others may use more. Einstine only ever used about 30-40% of his brain (I believe, the numbet may be a little different), and he was a genious. it's not a huge deal, it's just how we work.


I think it may be true that in the internet, some posters may only use 10%
of their brains, but that's an opinion.

As for the reality, this is an often-debunked piece of fluff. Humans use 100%,
just not usually all at the same time.
