That brain % thing is definitely a myth. We use all of our brain, just at different times and for different reasons. Maybe at any exact moment, we only use some percentage, but the whole "Humans only use 10%, imagine if they used 100%." thing is BS.

No - sorry, it isn't a myth.
(And nothing the current state of science dares to talk about is "definite" anyway.)

If it were a myth, then certain chemicals (NOT illegal drugs) would have no effect on the scope and speed of brain activity - but they do. And I am not talking about "hallucinations" (which is a suspect term in itself).

I am in no position to offer "proof", especially not over the internet, on a public forum, nor am I inclined to do so in any case.
And besides, why would I?
Those who deny it also do so without presenting any "proof", no?

I just wanted to say that there is DEFINITELY no evidence that this is a myth; but there is substantial body of evidence to the contrary.

And that's without counting the fact that people like to confuse the brain with the mind - which is not the same thing, never was, never will be.

Unfortunately, this modality of thought does not come easy to many people. I accept that the reason you are not elaborating is because it cannot be expressed in such mediums as this.

However, that, in and of itself renders the point moot.

No, that renders it an unsupported and completely untrue conclusion.

There is only one reason evidence cannot be provided to back up this myth: it simply doesn't exist.
