• Question: Any of you seen the movie Limitless? If yes, is it possible to create a drug such as NZT which allows us to use up all our brain to it's maximum potential?

      We do actually use most, if not all of our brain. If it was the case that we didn’t, we’d probably be able to damage the brain without too much problem. Instead, the brain is very sensitive, and even the slightest bangs can have big effects.

      Yes and the other thing to remember is that our brain is divided up into parts that do different jobs. So when we are using ‘only 10% of our brain’ its probably a good thing!

      You wouldn’t want to feel like you’re singing, smelling, tasting, touching, falling, fighting, talking, sleeping all at the same time right?
