   hey psa:

   * you use 100% of your brain 100% of the time

   * you‘re not left- or right-brained, higher functions are fairly distributed

   what else?

            @clacke @lain pick any article on the subject, last god knows how many years (or for the Brain Percentage consider how fast evolution would have gotten rid of that waste of energy if it ever was so)

               @halcy @lain That's why human intelligence is such a mystery. What is the evolutionary advantage of our very expensive brain that stopped it from being optimized away?

      @halcy Students do not plateau in a subject because they have hit the limits of their natural ability. They just have bad teachers. (My initial post had swearing. And I just got after my kid for saying "crap" so I felt bad.)
