I find it heartbreaking that the latest blockbuster movie from Hollywood, has the tagline, We only use 10% of our brain, imagine what she could do with 100%. And of course, what she can do with 100% is manifest paranormal powers, like telekinesis. First of all, anyone with even a modicum of scientific literacy knows the we only use 10% of our brain meme was debunked ages ago. Its like saying, if one leech cures you of the common cold, imagine what ten leeches would cure! The fact that the science literacy rate is so low that Hollywood would confidently bankroll it means that they really dont care about putting the science in science fiction, nor their role in making people more stupid. I am also mystified as to why Morgan Freeman would be involved. What counts is that Scarlett Johannsen is hot, and people want to know how to see the future and throw cars with the remaining 90% of their brain. wired/2014/07/luc-besson-lucy-2/
