Every major cognitive paradigm shift disenchants and disrupts the previous elite class that led human understanding. Great eras naturally obsolete outdated ways of thinking and replace them with new ones. Just as history dethroned wizards, priests, and Confucian scholars, the AI era is birthing an entirely new cognitive paradigm—and with it, a new leading class of thinkers and discoverers. What was once reserved for professional mathematicians and scientists—deep mathematical exploration and groundbreaking research—will become decentralized, democratized, and fully automated. In the future, AI LLMs, AI agents, and even everyday people will actively participate in or lead the discovery process.
