Where did the myth come from?
It came from early on in studying the brain. A scientist said that we only understand what 10 percent of the brain does, and everyone ran with a misunderstanding of that idea.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson explains here. https://youtube.com/shorts/E4EjYfUBEvw?si=LO3GIURgZesHjo85
Sidenote, why does everyone hate Neil these days?
He thinks he's so smart about everything and there's always this condescending tone.
Like no shit Neil?
Piling on...
Oh god I forgot about that one lol.
Piling on, he totally misses the arguments and ideas being put forward by the interviewer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zT9Xv7pHG_4

Okay well this is just trying to be funny. Did giggle a bit on the first one
The last one is perfection. We have !fuckcars@lemmy.world, maybe we can get a !fuck_sports somewhere?
I thought it was something about how much is active at any given time, but it doesn't look like it's that either.
It might be straight pulled out of thin air.
I understood it as "conscious thought". Subconsciously your brain is still sending and receiving tons of information and signals to move muscles like pumping your heart or contracting your diaphragm.
