What if we really use only less than 10% of our brain capacity. What if we were all geniuses when we were born but vaccinations destroyed our system?

I suggest that we consider ourselves stupid. Humans are fucking stupid, really.

What the fuck. I just wanna talk to people who understand my level of thinking, assuming there are in this forum. But then again, I'm just fucking tired yo.

I keep thinking why we're born to serve that one God. The same god who gave me this fucked up mind that overthinks so much.

I think the movie was trying to say we cannot use all of our neural connections within the brain (white matter) rather than not being able to use 100% of the actual brain (grey matter).

White matter is a fatty substance that insulates the neurons so the electrical currents can travel between neurons without losing strength. This is important because of the way neurons communicate, using gradient potentials and action potentials. Without this insulation the neurons lose their voltage and cannot communicate. Thus making the pathways with white matter the only viable option.

While it's true that humans lose many of the neural pathways (white matter) they are born with, it's a result of lack of use and the neural pathways we do use are strengthened. By adulthood, we use pretty much 100% of our neural pathways because if we didn't they simply wouldn't be there, or they'd be very weak connections.

I think the movie was suggesting she reestablished all these neural connections and she was then able to control much more of herself and others because of it.

But I still hated the movie.

Then maybe you should have put this in serious debate section and not backstage for starters?
If you want to read something intelligent or deep, try that section. You'll notice some users who come across simple (meant in the nicest way possible) actually use their brains and have more depth to them than meets the eye you read their words from on here. Most you read is people just relaxed and not thinking deeply every day.

I had no idea what you meant by Lucy until I googled it, film doesn't exist in the UK yet so that figures.

It's all about science for me

I get frustrated reading this lady's posts begging for parents to wise up about vaccinations in USA.
Yes it could be doing something to us, but life alive being slightly more dumb than we were born is better than an early grave, no?

I'm not religious but I respect others beliefs and I am open minded. I would like to ask out of interest, to try and understand, how you know you are here to serve a god and how you are serving him/her/it?

I don't like to put in Serious Debate section because the topic might sway. I don't like people to change topic or change the whole thread to a troll section etc etc.
