How do you feel about the 10% claim. that humans use only 10% brain power consciously

[Xenophon]

The claim is actually a litmus test: anyone who believes it is using less than 10%.

They would be able to make themselves seize until they die after they attempted to fire off all of their neurons at once.

I always seen this claimed but never saw any evidence to support it, how do you feel about the idea or theory of humans consciously only using 10% of their brain manually. Most of us go day by day on Autopilot, what do you think a person who is using all capacity of his brain would look like or act/respond to other basic needs or challenges we face. What are your thoughts on this take I know it can get deeper when thinking about this sort of topic, leaning more into genetics and certain gene's or dormant gene's that have not been active, but I would like to hear the theory of my fellow occultist. I also heard that most of the brain's use/power resides in the subconscious, but I do not have much knowledge on this myself.

I think that somehow got misconstrued from people hearing that 10% of human DNA is considered functional and the rest being "junk".

SUBTOPIC: How is this measured?
⁜→ et al,

Assuming that an individual is not brain-damaged, what little we do know is that different parts of the brain perform different functions. So, just for me to sit down and type this simple comment, probably caused most segments of the brain to activate in some manner. I think that the entire anatomy of the brain was probably involved.

So, how do I measure the activity usage of the brain? I do not think the question is realistic.
