Why I think our brains are so powerful

[THClord]

The brain is an incredible thing, I think everybody agrees. The most fascinating part to me is how we are able to do complex tasks 100.0000% correctly in times of sudden danger with absolutely no time to prepare.

I started longboarding just over a year ago. I'm pretty good at it, but I can't do anything crazy. When I'm about to fall, however I can do the craziest shit ever. It's like I wouldn't have thought in my wildest dreams that I could do the things that I do.

Ex. I'm going down carving a hill when my rear wheels slip. So my board is suddenly perpendicular to the way I'm going, and I'm going fast. I actually rode the board standing on it while sliding all the way until I slowed down enough to simply jump off. For the record, I can't even slide my board even a bit normally.

Also, when I fall I coordinate every single part of my body so perfectly that it amazes me. Every time I get out of a fall that could have easily broken bones without even a scratch. I do not know when I could have possibly learned to do this.


Is this simply an example of our brains' huge power? Maybe, but I think there's more to it. First, I strongly believe that our brain is a quantum computer. That would explain our brains' huge power. But let's think bigger. A property of quantum mechanics is that if two particles were once connected, after that if you act on one particle, you act on its pair instantly even if it is across the universe. This would explain telepathy. Maybe when I was about to fall on my board, my brain telepathically communicated with all my friends who longboard, and this allowed me to do stuff I normally wouldn't.

Also, a lot of people have the "start singing a song randomly, turn the radio on and there it is." I think it could easily be telepathy, one of your friends must've been listening to the same station.

Maybe we are telepathically communicating with our friends all the time, we just don't know it. If telepathy is real, this would make sense evolutionarily. One person possessing a whole group of peoples' knowledge in times of danger is a huge evolutionary advantage. Actually let me rephrase it. If telepathy is real, and evolution is real too, it would be plain stupid if we didn't use telepathy a lot.


What do you guys think about all of this? Does anyone have some cool thoughts to expand upon this topic?

hey man i think u have been smoking a little too much...

JK JK!! its NEVER too much to stop.

i know what u mean that some how we can communicate with other without even know it.
like for example some times me and my dad work together nd when we are on the freeway and he is about to start a subject to talk about i had already thought about the same exact thing like 5 minutes before. and viseversa.

its sum crazy shit.
oh like when u are about to call someone randomly and right before u press dial either they txt u or are calling u at the sme time.
i get that a lot!

quick fact. did you know that the average human only uses about 15 % of their brain??!!!??!!!!! meaning we still have another huge 85% to explore.

I sometimes sit and ponder the actual idea of ones mind. It's hard to wrap your head around how complexy the himan mind is. I'm taking a Psychology class for college and I love it.

BTW Kotton, your wrong. You use your whole brain. Thats jst a myth that you only use part of it.

Our brains are very powerful. I mean it's so precious. That's why I try to keep it away from harmful substances but still expand my mind at the same time with the good . But yeah the brain has infinite capabilities. It's amazing, some of the individuals we have living and their mental abilities.

Since the brain has different sections to it to achieve different tasks, surely that means that we do infact only use a small percent of the brain for thought processing. However, that's not to say the rest isn't in use, it's just being used for other things like bodily functions. Is that right?

Our brains have to be powerful to make up for our weak furless, clawless, scaleless, unarmored, venomless, hornless, non-winged, fangless, non-fire-breathing bodies...

That's a false fact... it's actually about the other way around, we use most of our brains, and there is still some left unexplained and unexplored but it's far less than the amount we actually use.

Just imagine everything that has been created by the human brain.

Your brain needs plenty of water.

Well... while the scientists may have proven that we use our entire brain (what i doubt VERY much), still remains the fact that we only use a very small range of all our mind possibilities. Most people dont live a brain-challenging life... in fact, most people lives a very routine life, doing the same things the same way... and while the entire brain may be used for doing this simple tasks, surely the brain is not being used at its full capacity... i would say everyday tasks uses about 1% (or less) or our total processing capacity... its like someone who has the newest computer but uses it only to play mp3... while this same computer could be used to heavy math simulations, extremly detailed graphics games, etc, and all it at the same time...
Or... we use our entire body to walk... but it doesnt mean that we are using all our body capacity when walking... we can also jog, or run... which also uses the entire body, but it uses more of our body capacity.


To the OP... i think when we are in sudden danger we are far more skillful because we are very concentrated in what were doing. When youre almost falling from your board, the only thing you want is not to fall. You dont think about anything else... so all your mind in concentrated in not falling, and thus you do what seems to be incredible feats... but they are simply the result of extreme concentration in what youre doing.
In fact we people can do things far beyond we believe. But what lack us is concentration. Our minds are like "drunk and horny monkeys, jumping from branch to branch"... we cant sustain any thought much longer than some seconds... soon, very soon other thoughts appears to compete with it, and soon our mind was taken away by other thougts... and thats why usually we are just "average" in the things we do... cause we are not concentrating enough in it.
Concentration is the key for everything. All the things called "psychic powers" are just result of great concentration, of thinking only one thought during a long time, without allowing any interference.
There is a lot more to be said in this subject... but i think is already long enough. Maybe later... :stoned:

your brain is useless if you cant smell, hear, see, taste or feel. Imagine if you were born with no senses what so ever, then you wouldnt even have a concouis or anything because your concouis is the brains interpetation of sensories. Just need to get that approved to take a baby and tear its eyes out and rip out its tung, cut the nose off and give it pain killers. Then we can really find out what happens when a human does not even have any senses at all
