stop!

people use 10% of the brain,so if they're limits we're far from reaching them

OP here. I was referring to intelligence in general, as a concept, not of the human brain.

>Is there an upper limit to intelligence?
Define intelligence and good luck with that.
>If we take intelligence to mean the ability to recognise patterns,
Highly debatable.
It's just one aspect of intelligence but hardly the only one.
Is it possible to be more intelligent than us? We all think it is, you just need to improve all the abilities we have, which doesn't seem to be inherently impossible.
And probably we're not intelligent enough to comprehend intelligence itself when it's way too advanced compared to ours.

There is a positive correlation between knowledge and depression. The more you know, the less you feel happy and satisfied with your life. The magic of discovery vanishes, you can pretty much break down your environment and natural phenomena inside your head and figure out how things work. So you walk around looking for cheap thrills and resort to shitposting and getting into petty arguments with inferior monkeys for personal amusement.

Unknowable. Can't know what you don't know.
