it may not be noticeable but the next time you sweat, get thirsty, get hungry, feel pain, feel any sensation at all, that your brain had to go and find the memory of those things by itself without being asked, just doing it, and giving it to your body in a matter of milli-seconds.

your brain has the ability to delay certain sensations, such as pain, but only when absolutely necessary will it do this.

your brain is constantly doing minor and major adjustments to your body, keeping you alive, so if im using 10%, how do i survive doing math problems?

All of the functions of living are controlled by a very very small portion of the brain, by the back of the head and brain stem. Nothing more. Many animals have ONLY this. Heart beat, breathing shit of that nature.


The other lobes and smaller sections only control small parts such as the 5 senses(very very basic general psyche even teaches this)


The rest of the cerebral cortex contains a vast array of information we just can't or don't tap into all at once. We may be using bits from every section of the brain all at once, but it's not working to it's full capacity all the time, not even close. But we use 85-100 percent of it's possible functions, but not to their fully possible functionality.
maxsuperdanks Reviewed by maxsuperdanks on . Why I think our brains are so powerful 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 Rating: 5
