I'm referring to the "We only use 10 percent of our brains" thing. There was even a movie about it with Morgan Freeman and Scarlett Johansenn called Lucy where she unlocks the ability to "use 100 percent of her brain" and becomes some kind of god lol

Yeah, I remember that.

From a scientific stand point the premise was all kinds of flawed. It makes for cool sci-fi but personally I reject the idea of actually using it as sci-fi because too many people believe that it's actually plausible and it just perpetuates bad science ideas.

I just did a search on this subject and this article from psychology today was the first one I clicked on. It just so happens to make reference to Lucy.
