It’s a popular fact that 90 percent of the brain is not used and, like most
popular facts, it is wrong…It is used. One of its functions is to make the
miraculous seem ordinary, to turn the unusual into the usual. Otherwise
human beings, faced with the daily wondrousness of everything would go
around wearing a stupid grin saying, “Wow,” a lot. Part of the brain exists
to stop this from happening. It is very efficient, and can make people
experience boredom in the middle of marvels. — Terry Pratchett
