If you're talking about 10% of some non-physical concept of brain "potential", then you have to define, potential WHAT? Creativity? Intelligence? Speed of thought? Hand/eye coordination? Something else deemed important? All of it? None of it? How could you possibly attach a 10% potential value to any of this unless you operationalize it down to some tiny measurable part that lose the gestalt? If we're not defining the 10% as physical brain area, then the 10% proposition seems not only unlikely true but likely meaningless, a priori.
- mapcars 4y agoI don't have to define or measure it. And this does not make it meaningless either. In fact most profound things in life can not be measured. Can you measure how much parents love their child? Can you measure how happy someone is to get a present they wanted? Can you measure how funny a joke is? Measuring everything is a stupid approach to life and things like brain development and human potential for sure are immeasurable but are the most significant.
