I’ve often wondered about the 10% claim. I was thinking maybe the remaining 90% was operating system.
It would require a TON of system resources to design something as complex as the human anatomy that runs with total autonomy but instantly sends a notification to your conscious brain when you feel a mosquito on your leg or something...

I think there’s a reason why this movie falls into the category “Science Fiction” but somehow it escapes me.........I’m sure it’ll come to me later.
I saw the movie. It was average.
She's got a great bod, and as a Hollywood lib, she probably is only capable of using 10% of her brain, but the truth is that most people use much more.
If the 10% myth was true, the below headline would be fairly common.
“The victim was shot in the head, but he’s perfectly fine, the bullet hit the 90% of his brain doesn’t use.”
They don’t make documentaries in Hollywood.
With Hollywood, I apply the Napoleonic Code, a film is scientifically false until it proves otherwise. This test is seldom met and then is generally for historical pictures like "Apollo 13" and the like. Assume that and you won't be crushed hearing whooshing noises in space and banking turns by space-craft.
I’m quite sure that human beings don’t even use 1% of their brains.
It seems to me that the rejection of the 10% myth is a mere quibble in the face of the outrageous and entirely unphysical abilities that are depicted, however supposedly obtained.
It’s hard to even call these “mystical”, since they are nothing but cinematic fantasy. They are so outrageous that I have to immediately turn to political allegory to find a motivating idea behind the movie. In a nutshell, it is the enduring claim of the Left, “We will bury you.”

Cliff Robertson got the best actor Oscar for his performance in the title role.
Evidently, many of us are using ten times as much brain as the average liberal. So the theory is partly true.
The author is a real hoot. I bet he gets his knickers in a twist when he watches Star Trek and figures out that none of it is true. To take a line from a different genre, “Lighten up, Francis.”
Psychobabble?
It's okay, she visited my Marines, so she's good to go.
Most people probably peak at around 4%. From 1-3% when watching TV.
Saw it last weekend. It blows chunks. Think “2001” meets “The Matrix.” With a little Jackie Chan thrown in for that ethnic touch.
