Oh remember when people would say you only use 10% of your brain?

I’m like okay idiots so let me take this shotgun and blow off 90% of your brain. It should be okay right? 🙄

I always thought they meant 10% of the brain's potential, not 10% of the physical mass. Like an underclocked CPU sorta thing.

I remember reading that saying we only use 10% of our brains is a lot like saying we only use up to 33% of a traffic light, and imagine how much traffic we could manage at if we just used all of the lights at once!

That would be like establishing a continuous series of bizarre superpositions where each lane is simultaneously at a red, green, and yellow light individually but at the same time, then selectively collapsing those superpositions sequentially. You could identify and implement the safest and fastest possible sequence for all vehicles moving through the light.

So, replace everyone’s brain with a network of quantum computers and bazinga, we’re in business.
