I remember a talk by a Microsoft VP who said that a very optimistic estimate would be that we were using human intelligence and creativity at maybe 5% efficiency. The actual number is likely much lower than that.
That is pseudo science and a really stupid take. Our brain is expensive as fuck since the moment of conception, born realy early and mostly under developed because of Our fucking big head. The whole evolution says that we animals use it or loose it, let that be tails, guils or brain power.
If we didnt use the whole brain it would be cut off for efficiency.
Mind the context, we are talking about how little our society is capitalizing on the abilities of people, not on some stupid “we only use 10% of our brain” take
