The mind doesn’t do “impossible” things. We just have an incomplete grasp of how the brain works.

We would know by now if the brain had a capacity for psychic ability. There is no such thing, as all psychics that have been tested have been exposed as frauds.

There is no reason to suspect we are not already using our brains to their fullest potential.

We may be able to enhance our brains in the future through drugs, implanted chips, or gene editing.

Let me stop you right there. The reason you have to suspect you're not already using your brain to its fullest effects comes in the form of being right handed or left handed.

If you are right handed I'd like you to take a minute and in your head try to think about tracing a word with your left hand in real time. You will find it's a lot easier to imagine yourself writing with your strong hand than it is to imagine yourself writing with your weak hand.

I suggest to you that the parts of your brains that would be wired to your weak hand is nearly completely atrophied as opposed to the parts of your brain that wire themselves to your strong hand.

Furthermore I suggest that some people's brains are wired to their strong hands so well that it might be by way of quantum entanglement in the same way that your Bluetooth headphones work.

It could very well be that if you can get both parts of your brain equally entangled to each of your hemispheres that what we call psychic might just be the basic entangled state that give us our Bluetooth tech which could easily have been marketed as magic to our forefathers.

Now that I know my Bluetooth headphones use quantum entanglement I feel a little better about the price.

I mean this with all sincerity, but you might be having a little bit of a manic episode dude. This is not a normal way to talk or treat people.

You definitely sound serious..I'm definitely not normal but I think you're reading disrespect where there is none. I understand consensus is that we are not leaving untapped potential on the table. I rebuke that consensus with nothing but love for the people who purvey it.

Okay but seriously I do have friends that occasionally have issues with manic episodes and lofty ideas and grandiose speech can be huge indicators.

As to untapped brain potential… sure. Probably not in a science fiction psychic powers kinda way though. More in the regular blood pressure control and better nutrition and societal conditions would make it a lot easier for everyone and lead to a lot healthier brains.

So if I have lofty ideas coupled with grandiose speech, that gives you the right to step to me as though I were being disrespectful? One might say THAT is no way to treat people.

Ain't nothing fictional about quantum entanglement, Mate.

Not stepping. Expressing actual concern. Manic episodes can destroy lives. But no worries. Take care of yourself.
