BRAIN MYTHS
One of our greatest canards, or lying myths , is that we "use only 10% of our brains." How do we know that this is true? How did this canard originate ? Did someone measure a brain's latent utilization capacity and then promptly publish their findings with demonstrated proof, in peer-reviewed journals? Or did, instead, the myth's prime mover have had a divine revelation during a fast or sleep or lightening strike? The popular canard makes no sense, whatever, arbitrarily quantifying or what is perforce unquantifiable like intelligence, which comes from our infinite Divine Creator!
