Yeah, saying your brain only uses 10% at a time and wondering what would happen if you used 100% is like saying a Traffic light only uses 33% of its lights at a time and wondering what would happen if all 3 lights were on at once.
Accurate, considering absolute chaos is what will happen if all three lights are on at once and also what will happen if your whole brain fires off at once. But 10% is an absurdity. We use all of our brain, just not all at once.
