Brain Power


Daily Prompt: Let’s assume we do, in fact, use only 10% of our brain. If you could unlock the remaining 90%, what would you do with it?

This is a strange prompt, I have to say, and it was late today. I didn’t see it come up until at the start of my second class.

Do we really use only 10% of our brain? That would be an interesting fact.

If I can unlock the remaining 90%, I would not know what to do with it. It’s just too much brain for me. I would rather it stays locked.

Whoa, scratch that…

Actually, I read this novel a while ago, I can’t remember the title but according to the story, apparently everyone has some kind of supernatural power, they just need to unlock it with their minds.

What if my other 90% was some sort of supernatural power? If that’s true, I would love to use that 90% for mind reading or some kind of cool psychic power. So I can secretly get a glimpse into my mom’s complicated mind, hey maybe it’s not complicated, just to see and double-check her tasks for me before I go do it. Because I’m really tired of the vague instructions and the unappreciative behavior. I mean what exactly do you want me to do?

    1. Nah, Lucy is complete science fiction—I mean, telekinesis, come on.

      MythBusters busted the 10% thing some time ago; even in resting period, it’s at least 13%.  We use a lot of our brain all day.
