RE: The 10% Myth and what it implies
I sometimes wonder why people think it’s a good idea to get their scientific knowledge from the movie industry …
Lol and I wonder the same way when people say that watching English movies helps you perfect your English skills. :) The fact that a vast majority of internet users get 'knowledge' on almost every topic from Wikipedia and then impose it on people around them getting a superior feeling of 'Greek philosophers resurrected', takes this funny situation to the next level. In their social circles, they are regarded as 'Mountains of knowledge'.
Conclusion number four: Humans think that they use only 10% of their brains because brain is a complex matter and till date, humans have only understood only 10% of it's entire functionalities.
Sum Up: Einstein was not the most genius man of the world. :)
By the way, @suesa, who is this faceless lady in the photo and why is her puppy staring at me? :)
Steem On!
It's because the movie is so much better that the book
Yes, most textbooks are terrible.
I generally lose the direction of the plot about a third to 2 thirds of the way through and it doesn't help when you're instructed to mix the chapters up... say, start with Chapter 4 then go read Chapter 7 then back to Chapter 2. In conjunction with the characters changing all over the place then not showing up in any other part of the book I really get confused.
Just a pic I added to illustrate a boring lifestyle :P
You could have served humanity by not making it faceless. :)
