      We already do use 100% of our brains, however I don’t think we know what all of it does yet. There was a rumour from a few years ago that we only use 5% or 20% or something, but as far as I understand, no scientists think that any more.

      I think it’s more that we don’t know what a lot of our very clever grey matter actually does.
