> Minds get eroded by technology by heavily relying on it

This has been said for thousands of years. Socrates/Plato was complaining about how writing weakens the human memory.

We need to accept that human minds are limited and technology is meant to extend them. Science has advanced considerably due to computers despite the appearances.

The way out of the current “impasse” is through even more technology. We might not be able to solve all the mysteries of the universe without intelligence augmentation or superintelligent AI.

Computers used to be bicycles for the mind. Now with things like Facebook they’re self-driving cars for the mind.
