Yes, that's how I understand it.

MrPedantic · Answer

I'd be inclined to interpret it as all aspects of the human mind: memory, intuition, analytical prowess, imagination, sensory perception, etc.

Definitely, because there are all sorts of machines designed to duplicate the variety of skills that humans perform--skills possible to us because of the kind of minds we have. Asembly production, for instance, replaces many elements of what would be hand-hewn assembly skills. Such manual (vs. intellectual) skills exist as such because of the capacities of our minds.

It should be appreciated, though, that machines can make humans even more superior than they would be without the machines. Machines extend our intellectual reach as well as enhance our physical capabilities.
