potential what?

my example:

Person A: We don't know how many floobies that box contains.

Person B: WTF is a floobie? What units do you measure floobies in?

Person A: It is a potential.

Person B: That is not an answer; and for what it is worth, it is not a unit.


how much of your brain do you use? thats more or less what i mean by brain power. the human mind is very weak, not powerful at all in comparison to what it could be.

oh your talking about the 10% old wives tale:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenpercentofbrainmyth
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=do-we-really-use-only-10


Snopes sites Uri Geller as a source, the wikipedia article doesn't exist and Scientific American doesn't site anyone.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenpercentofbrainmyth

Snopes cites Geller as one of the modern perpetrators of the myth.

i highly doubt there is a generic set number that all humans use, it is very different among each person.

Perhaps if you haven't, you should look up the noetic theory. There's a lot to pseudoscience which will soon replace what we know. Out with the old in with the new.

Still right in my mind. When you actually have an argument with facts and not opinions, then we'll talk.
