Scientists have determined that humans only use something like 15% of their brain capacity. I’ve heard lower numbers–some as low as 5%–but my guess is that those experiments were done on blue-collar republicans, American Idol fans, and people who read novels available only at the grocery store.
This raises the question of what the other 85% is doing. It must be doing something.
I know what men use the other 85% for–fantasizing continuously about every woman they see (or every man, for natures bachelors). It’s subconscious. We don’t choose to do it, it just happens, like breathing.
When I was 20, I could mentally undress a woman, re-dress her in whatever slinky evening wear was most fitting for her body type, skin, hair, and eye coloration, mentally take her out to dinner, slowly seduce her, mentally undress her again and re-dress her in lingerie, mentally undress her again, fantasize about making love to her, and then mentally put her pyjamas on, imagine sleeping next to her all night, cooking her breakfast, and putting her in a cab home, all in approximately the time it takes to blink. The only time my mental facilities were taxed at all is when the entire womans soccer team would jog past my dorm room window at the same time.
Twenty-five years later, I find this ability has diminished somewhat, along with several other mental processes.
I have heard similar stories from many, many men. I assume that all women know this for a fact.
I’ve always wondered what women do with the other 85% of their brains. Whatever it is, they don’t leave many clues behind.
