He was going for widely accepted and correct seeming facts, not ones that most people already don't believe.

It's true tho. We do only use a small percentage of our brain simultaneously, but not because it hasn't "unlocked" its full potential or anything. It's more for the same reason why we don't use all 6 gears in our cars simultaneously. It just doesn't make sense

@Mr Right The whole brain and the full potential are not the same thing. We use every region of our brains but that doesn't mean we use it to the full potential. Neuroscience is still in its infancy. There is a lot we don't understand about the brain.

That's because he was only using 10% of his brain when he didn't think of it.

kids are already wired for hyperactivity, and I truly never understood the ban on sugar. ir''s brain food,, quite literally. It doesn't cause diabetes, it doesn't burn holes in your clothes, and if kids seem super excited when you "'allow' them a candy cane once a year, that's because they arent used to the stuff and it probably wakes them up.

@@judythompson8227 Refined sugar is bad for you, period.

@@judythompson8227 Refined sugar does cause diabetes. IE it is likely to be turned into fat by your liver which then can cause your pancreas to be less effective at producing insulin.

@@gordonlawrence1448 Refined sugar doesn't have any vitamins/minerals/protein. It is just empty calories. It also gets absorbed quicker than starch and triggers the liver to overproduce insulin, causing a sugar spike then drop.

Sugar is fuel. You guys don't sound like parents. Predisposed or not, they burn sugar very efficient. I've told them it was diet and vice versa. It's true that they get excited when they get the sugar in their possession because sugar is a reward, but in event instance physical activity increases.

Which means we need to end capitalism, which is why most scientific knowledge is currently behind paywalls.

Nevermind that capitalism is why we have enough science for most of it to be behind paywalls. Modern research is frequently expensive, because while we can't ever say that we've absolutely discovered everything that can be discovered by a curious person in a home lab, we can say we reasonable confidence that we discovered a significant plurality of things that can be discovered that way. Somebody has to fund further research, and the government only funds what will win votes, which these days mostly means high profile space exploration, green energy (without much regard to actual viability, I might add, just look at how much tax money has been poured into nuclear fusion with nothing to show for it), and the LHC. Governments do make smaller investments in other fields, but on the whole those contributions are negligible compared to private sector spending/contributions that result from free market decisions. To abolish capitalism is therefore to abolish most science.

I recently had this with an "expert" on surgical intervention (read as dental patient unhappy with her dentists choice to use analgesia because she was scared) provide 10 medical abstracts that "agreed" with her statement despite not being peer reviewed. Now, I take issue with abstracts in general since they don't give the whole paper, you only see the hypothesis and the results they want you to see. I also disagree with 1 person providing me with the papers and telling me they must be right. Of course papers you give me will agree with your statement, you chose them. Why would you choose something that disagrees to prove your point? "Expert opinion" is just that especially when you ignore opposing "expert opinion". An expert can be very wrong and are only right until they're challenged, it's how we make progress in our knowledge. We challenge known convention to prove or disprove the hypothesis.

That's a good phrase to learn! . He can correct his "debunking" of vitamin C!

@@akrybion "Usually Half Microbes"

Julien Ribollet explain.

Here’s the thing, I tried to prove this ... by using my own damn body, which I deeply regret. Like 2 years ago I was in the shower and I had the smart idea to test this and shaved the area around my bellybutton, which at the time, looked completely hairless. A couple weeks later hairs were clearly noticeable ... and so every summer I have to shave my stomach. My stomach. They are thick and long as hell. The rest of myself is completely normal. So that’s why that one area in my stomach is hairy and the rest are not... What makes you call this a myth?

@@illusionfaderr5394 The same thing happened to me. I feel like hair regrowth must vary person to person and body part to body part.

Your hair is cone-shaped like ,so if you shave the top you get the base of the cone

@@illusionfaderr5394 The first hair that grows back will be thicker because it is cylindrical, not tapered like your usual hair. Leave it until you have natural replacement to fallen hair and it will be back the way it used to be. This just needs patience.

that's true, i don't even use 1% of my brain

That's more of a common myth that doesn't even pass a basic "smell test." The ones in the video went through peer-review.

I know people who would be greatly improved if they did.

Isn't that just worded wrong that made it a myth? Like people thought it meant that we use ONLY 10 or 25% of our brains, but it's actually we use 100% of our brains, but only 10 of 25%of it at one time? I don't even know if that's true. I read it somewhere. Maybe it's just more of the same myth.

@@IntergalacticSpaceKitten It is a variant of the same myth. I can not quote the source but if memory serves ( as always if you want the truth you have to spend time to look it up or hope someone like the creators of this content do so for you ) is that it's based on the percentage of the brain involved in cognitive behavior. Which I believe is about 10% of total brain mass. Somehow that got translated into the idea we only use 10%. Which then got refuted by other studies leading to confusion on what percentage is involved hence the 10 to 25 percent numbers. In fact, all parts of the brain capable of functions do so all the time. Only in damaged brains is there a loss of function. So we use 100% of the brain. Now, how much of that is cognitive is subject to debate. Even if that's our total brain power is subject to debate. Grey matter can be found at the base of fingertips and along the spinal cord. And I am sure you have heard of muscle memory ( most likely linked to the Fascia). Also the brain gut interface affects brain function. All this leads to the possibility that the brain doesn't actually include all of our " processing " ability to begin with and that there may be more to this story. I used the term processing because most of this is not anything we are aware of but is necessary for life anyway. Sort of like a computer were we see the " interfaces " but the real machinery isn't actually any part of that interface. It's only the surface we can relate to. In many ways, the story of the human brain is the same. We are only aware of our conscious interface and miss everything else below the surface. ------ There is nothing more difficult in science then using a organ we don't understand to figure out that same organ. Brain studies often quote this in one form or another and this myth points to the root of why that is so true even today.

Right, but that's time consuming and the casual reader, that is, someone just looking into learning new facts as opposed to someone writing a term paper or doing background research will not pursue this strategy. (TMT = Too Much Trouble)

Coming from my Ph.D. experience, this is true! This might not work for older papers since authors change occupations or retire, or just don't answer.. Having open-source papers would be more reliable There is also arxiv these days though, I hope it will be used more widely =)

Thats true but it is legally debatable. The editors OWN the paper. To distribute it without permission is kinda of a crime (yes, even the author). It's like saying: you don't need to pay to watch films Because you can find them on the internet.

@@azielmelo7756 First of all, the author owns it, not the editors or publishers. That's how copyright works. Second, even if you were right on that point, they're not making any money handing it out for free, so there's no copyright violation and thus no law being broken.

*"reference"

By just stating that "water freezes at 0° C", you have left out the other constraints required in a lab such as "standard pressure" and "non-movement". The water must also be pure (not river water), etc. The same can be said for the boiling point of water being 100° C. If you live at 7000 feet above sea level (Flagstaff, AZ, for instance) it boils at 92.7° C. I often hear many statements made by non-scientists, and occasionally scientists, which are true only when the constraints are made - yet they are often left out.
