Debunking the 10% Brain Myth

The myth that humans only use 10% of their brains is thoroughly debunked, with evidence showing that the brain is constantly active and processing vast amounts of information. In reality, the brain governs numerous unconscious functions that we often take for granted, such as breathing and digestion, and its processing capabilities exceed our conscious awareness significantly. This means that the ratio of what occurs unconsciously versus what we consciously think about is immensely skewed, with one researcher likening the complexity of unconscious processing to 'cubic feet to the Milky Way'. Understanding this intricacy highlights not only the capabilities of the brain but also the importance of the unconscious in shaping our thoughts and behaviors.
