While you can't memorize it (memorizing a fair amount of entropy would take an intelligent human quite some time), you can of course store them offline (it's just a key).

If you can export and import them, isn't that a security risk?

Everyone who has seen it remembers correct horse battery staple and intelligent humans find it relative straightforward to reroll diceware until they can imagine a story for the words they see.

Permute case, use symbols and digits as word dividers, and most HN readers can remember 'uncrackable' amounts of entropy.
