The HN crowd tends to confuse the human's mind with the human's identity. We think that the final destination of human development is some sort of "super intelligence" - a mind with insane processing power and unlimited ability to memorize and recall things. That's understandable because our life today revolves around knowledge, but one day ability to think will yield to ability to see ideas directly. If we could see a theorem's statement and its proof visibly connected like a tree's roots and its leaves, we wouldn't need to "think".
