Humans need to augment their information processing individually
It is important to note that humans do not need to augment their information processing cumulatively, but individually. The need is not to selflessly and anonymously add to a global register of knowledge for any predetermined purpose imposed on them by their nature or in any other way, but to qualitatively increase their information processing as individual, identifiable units by their own will and for their own purposes. (Even saints and other holy individuals carry names and are uniquely identifiable in space and time. Similarly, while when entering spiritual communities individuals may lose their worldly names, these are replaced by others—individuals do not remain nameless or anonymous (although in such closed and small communities they very well could), but become individualised in a new, spiritual state.) In other words, because they share no specific purpose, humans process information as individuals (that is, each one for his or her own purposes and to serve his or her own needs), and not cumulatively, as an indistinguishable unit within a hive which sets a common purpose for all.
