I've been told that we only use about 10% of our brains. You were told wrong, by someone that is only using the assumption part of their brain!  LOL We actually use all of our brain. And, at different times, using more of one part or another, and in many interconnecting ways. It's all constantly under synapse fire! Just depends on what is being thought of and done at any given time. Even sleep! Really fired up during all stages, in different areas. Music, sites, sounds, emotions, decision thinking, reaction, etc., are areas all being fired up even when we think our brain is sleeping. So even during sleep, we are certainly using all our brain! Some should stay asleep! Here's some weird facts of late about the conscience part of our brains: According to the latest data from the mental health professionals, about 50% of people do not have a fully evolved frontal lobe, making for most, if not all criminals, "having little or no ability to have a conscience". Read that again! THAT is a HUGE factor in thinking many do not use all of their brains. But we all use whatever we have. When you hear of somebody just not caring about what they do or have done, most can't help it in very real hard drive way, (lacking the crucial part of the brain to even have a conscience). Wow! But, even they have used all of their brain for one thing or another. (They just need a hard drive installation to use that too)! Too bad Apple isn't working on that for us human computers, instead of making artificial computers and phones "smart"er. Imagine that! Would be criminals as kids stand in line with their parents to not buy an I-pad, bit to buy a frontal lobe installation, or any kind of an upgrade! They come in without caring about their actions, and go out with always making their parents proud, (unlike Jeffery Dahmer's parents, for example). He knew what he was wrong, for he saw society not do those things, but he said he "didn't feel it was wrong"). NO conscience to stop him. Just was not a part of his brain. He didn't ignore it, (Or not use it), for it wasn't there to deal with. He said to have his brain examined after being executed. That was the smartest thing he ever said. Brain activity scans shows what parts of the brain are actually developed to be able to use. With brain evolution still in the intermediate phase, many people are just not out of the woods yet. With some societies and all technology advancing more than what 100% of humans can handle, (50% not having the updated hardware yet in the frontal lobe area), it just seems some are not using all their brain. It just shows they are not able to use what they don't have. It is the luck of being on the right branch of our family tree that has us either caring about our actions or not, (frontal lobe capabilities as to their original formation when in the fetus stage. Some have more frontal lobe capabilities than others. (Some conscience in some to all kinds of degrees, non in others). Harden killers for the mob or whoever? Check their frontal lobes. Will be absent of the conscience part to not ever have any remorse or care. When interviewed, they talk as if it was going to the store to get eggs. Just a job they did. No feelings for people or their own actions. But again, using all the brain they do have,,,all the time. Motion, sight, touch, smell, plans, directions, etc. Many parts of the brain always working with others. Some areas more alive than others, and thus more fully formed, due to need. Many nation and religious leaders could order and do what they did for not having a developed conscience. But again, all used all what they did have. Like a running engine or computer, many parts are connected and are all doing "something"!

"Do not endeavor to be the smartest kid in a dumb class. Instead, you are better off being the dumbest kid in the smartest class, where you will be challenged and you will learn. If you aren't growing, you are dying." -Brian Austin Whitney
