Adrenaline. What about it? Don't understand what you guys are trying to say.

We use every part of brain, the 10% means we just don't use it to it's full extent = /

Wow, I'm not even going to berate all of your comments, it's just too easy. Those of you that are using wikipedia and your psychology books are 100% incorrect in just about every way possible, though ubercreep361 is pretty close to what i will say, just he simplified it to the extent that many important details are left out. I'm not even going to explain how you are all wrong, but if you really care, send me a PM and I'll give you about a 300 page essay about this.

Re: How powerful is the human mind?

I think wat ur speakin of is called an adrenaline rush. The mind pumps in extra hormones to fit the situation.

Thats the point im trying to get across to you. Yes, we know what its called, and we know that it happens often when we are scared. But again, what I am wondering is; How would be be able to put ourselfs in this mind set when it didnt "fit the situation?" I dont know if what im saying doesnt make sense, it does to me.

Re: How powerful is the human mind?

Makes sense to me too. Unless we all could somehow learn mind over matter, we prolly couldn't. I'm serious.

Re: How powerful is the human mind?

Yeah, your probly right. I was just thinking how cool it would be if we actually could figure that out somehow. Maybe someday we will.

If you are just going to say "Wow, you guys are wrong and I have the answer", please don't even bother to post.

That's the equivalent of saying "Yeah, I'm Jesus, but I don't have to prove I can walk on water - just believe me, ok?"

Well, the human mind is actually very powerful if someone put it to use, but you see, there are many ways to abuse that type of power. "There is no such thing as good or bad, but thinking makes it so"-Willam Shakespeare. We do what we could think we do, we create what we could think we create, and we destroy what we could think we destroy. It's the mind games we play with our minds.

Well actually I'm just not a dumb**** with this matter, i actually know about this stuff rather than you, who just came to this to flame me. So either post about something u know about or get the **** out and flame where it's allowed. Oh and Frankkkk, by the way, people have figured out a way to learn mind over matter, just not to a very high extent. Please PM me if you want to know more about this, i would be happy to enlighten you.

Re: How powerful is the human mind?

This forum is called "Critical Thinking" not "Dismiss people's arguements with no evidence, and invite them to privately ask you to privately see your apparant proof"

If you can support your stance with good evidence, post it, so that we can all examine it, and question it, and analyze it collectively.

Oh please. You have no right to act all superior without giving us evidence, and I have absolutely NO reason to believe you. You have not stated qualifications, evidence, or even explained a single thing at all. Right now, you know what you sound like? You sound like those websites that would lead you to believe that they have the secret to attracting women, or making money, or losing weight, IF ONLY YOU BUY THEIR LIMITED TIME OFFER, IT'S A STEAL! DON'T TRUST THOSE OTHER WEBSITES, THEY ARE SCAMS! WE'RE THE REAL DEAL! ACT NOW AND YOUR LIFE CAN CHANGE FOREVER!

Do you realize that you sound like that?

How about never setting foot into Critical Thinking again unless you actually have something to discuss, instead of swaggering your pompous ass around acting like you have some sort of credibility. You think we should just believe you? You're not even a regular - not that being a regular should hold much credibility in Critical Thinking, but we don't even know who you are. For all we know you could be a 14 year old kid who hasn't even started high school and thinks he has evidence that ghosts are real - they live his closet.

Please, if you have something to say, say it here. You haven't even explained your stance or what people are wrong about or anything. If you say you have 300 pages of relevant articles, you could at least sum them up for us in a few paragraphs?

This reply is probably longer than it needed to be, but seriously, your attitude ****ing ticks me off. And in Critical Thinking! Who the hell do you think you are? Come in here and undermine what we're saying, but don't even explain why we're wrong or what evidence you have that we are wrong? Just expect everyone to believe you? Waving your pompous finger around like you're some sort of superior? **** you. GET OUT of this thread, and out of critical thinking, if you aren't going to back up your claims. This isn't how things work. We don't just take your word for it.

The thing that bothers me most is I would probably love to hear what you have to say, and see the discussion that results, but apparently whatever you know is too weak to stand up to mass analysis. Or at least, that is what I am gathering from your ridiculous idea of PMing to hear the rest. There's no need for that unless it was too stupid to stand up to any sort of criticism.
