"Thinking, analyzing, inventing...are not anaomalous acts; they are the normal respiration of the intelligence. To glorify the occasional performance of that function, to hoard ancient and alien thoughts, to recall with incredulous stupor that the doctor universalis thought, is to confess our laziness or our barbarity. Every man should be capable of all ideas and I understand that in the future this will be the case."

What did he mean by this?

he means "thinking, analyzing, inventing" are natural byproducts of a man using his mind and to think of those activities as something novel is to be lazy or caveman-like, that "every man should be capable of all ideas" and he believes in the future all men will do so.

What about the 'horde ancient alien thoughts' line?
