That viral 'we only use 10 percent of our brain' post got 40k likes and I can't let it go
Saw a tweet last week claiming we only use 10 percent of our brains, and someone in the replies said that's why we need special supplements to "unlock the rest." I looked it up on a neurology page from Johns Hopkins and basically all of your brain is active over the course of a day, just not all at once. The 10 percent number seems to trace back to some old quote that got twisted around, not any real scan. What gets me is a bad stat like this gets passed around forever because it sounds cool, so how do you even push back without sounding like the fun police?
