Born with the knowledge of Everything

armistice0 · 10-27-2006, 12:20 PM

I've always thought about this, never done reserach on it, and have nothing to back it up. But, do you think we are born knowing everything in there is to know, we only need to unlock it? Hence, the "learning" sequence?

ShikiXtohno · 10-27-2006, 02:20 PM

But that can't be true. It means we can remember things that we didn't experience. If I unlock it in my head, I can replay your entire life. We can't even do it for ourselves.

It doesn't really explain why some people can learn faster than others if they already know it. Why people have to think differently to grasp new concepts. Innovative ideas would mean that they already existed. Some things we take for granted were invented and isn't exactly a natural cause. Like numbers, letters, language and such. I don't see how we could already know everything through biological means.

Plus, we already know how our brain stores memories. If it's cut away, we may forget something and maybe another part of your brain will relearn it all over again.

But think about this. How did things come to be? How the hell was language created, civilization? Did someone grunt and decide to place meaning on it? It's baffaling when you think about it. How did anything at all come to be on this planet? One thing I know for sure that's built in to everything that can walk on this earth is community. Animals know to stick to their own kind and humans form cliques and groups. So if thats already there, what else could we already know but haven't unlocked yet?

... But it's >not< already there. At least not in your head. There are some things in your head when you are born, but the rest comes from outside influences, mostly society.

this is basically saying the same thing as the theory which says that our ancestors memories are stored in our genetics somewhere. i doubt all knowledge is in our brains from the beginning. we have the basics in there when we come into existence, such as breathing, heart beat, fight or flight reaction, and so on. alot of what we have immediatly is just plain instinct or the basis of all knowledge. the rest is either things that come into that one due to their influences from when in the womb, such as certain sounds or possibly even words which we are not able to speak when born. all the knowledge though in our brains is unlikely since we havent even the smartest person doesnt know even a quarter of what there is, and that is probably being generous.

Never in the human life time will we ever be able to unlock our full brain potential.

thats why you Make the brain Gene Connector thingy.

Brain Potential, I think that if we used all of our brains that perhaps we could know everything, I mean who knows, it's beyond comprehension....currently.

dont we use all of our brains?. some of the population Lets say midwest chicago.
kids there barely use there brains.Why cant we take it and Give to it a person who needs it?.

This was brought up by Socrates but I really don't believe it.

Our souls do not know everything. This is most notable in science.

~~chilly~~ · 10-27-2006, 08:00 PM

we only use like 10% of our brain

armistice0 · 10-27-2006, 10:33 PM

So 10% right? Let's unlock the other 90%, thats where the knowledge is.

Lol, no I'm not backing this. It's just something to think about. What if we did use 100% of our brain? Could we do amazing things? Like say...telepathy? Who knows. I wish I did. Things like this frustrate me...

**Anthop** · 10-28-2006, 02:32 AM

"We only use 10% of our brain" is a total misconception. It stems from the fact that about only 10% of our brain, on average, gets much blood flow. That doesn't mean we only use 10% of our brain. That only means that we use, on average, 10% of our brain >at a time<. And this is >not< a bad thing!

We use just about all of our brain, but imagine if it was all on at once! We wouldn't be able to concentrate or think. We'd burn out. A big part of "thinking" is about knowing what parts of the brain need to be "on" and what parts need to be "off".

Or that's how I see it, anyway ^^;;. If you're in neuroscience, correct me, 'cause I'm probably wrong XD.

Becci · 10-28-2006, 06:11 AM

Well I was just thinking ... if we only use 10% of our brains, does that mean we can chop off 90% of our brain and still function like a human? d: Evolution has a habit of taking anything out that is unecessary. Having that 90% brain doing nothing and squelching about, using up resources and such seems like a waste of energy... so it wouldn't make sense for it to remain in our skull if it serves no purpose.

I don't think that the statement of "We only use 10% of our brains" can be really approved or disproved. There's no clear scientific evidence pointing either way.
Let's say - if our brains were simple enough to be understood, I don't think we'd still be able to understand them, because we wouldn't be smart enough anyway.

armistice0 · 10-28-2006, 09:59 AM

Here's another thing, my 5 month old baby brother is doing things well before he is suppose to. I.E., flipping onto his belly, reaching out and grabbing at things, and the to ability show resentment

. Unbelievable? Resentment? Maybe I'm pushing it but when anyone in the family ****s with him he gets mad and stops talking to them(baby lingo), and turns away from that person.
So whats this about? Accelerated learning?
