From the Paper:

"When Roszak refers to the "naked mind", he means to speak about the capacity and ability of the human mind as compared to the capabilities that the computer machines can do. According to Roszak, how the human mind works has vital differences from how computers process information. Roszak praises the human mind because according to him, the human mind is more dynamic and more independent than the computer machines. That is, humans can achieve their goals without having to depend on machines. The machines, on the other hand, cannot do the same independence to reach achievements."
