Nature on the material level knows nothing - we are Nature's knowledge
engines on that level, so it is important for us to learn. If that means
learning from our mistakes, or from tinkering with the machine, then we
have to do it. Also, if as many believe, it has been designed for us,
then it will be able to take it until we are able to learn from the
consequences of our actions.

Definitely. But this has already happened: many people regret the way
the Americas were colonized, for example.
But note: every single investigation of Nature from the beginning of
time involves messing with something not understood. It is the only way
to learn if nobody is going to tell us the answers to our questions
directly. If anything, our methods of investigation are better and less
dangerous today than at any time in the past, as we have a large
population of scientists who can examine problems from many angles,
including considering the consequences. Similarly, we have a vocal
public who protest when the investigations get too dodgy - sometimes.
And yes, some of the questions being studied have very dangerous
potential. But it has to be better to know than not to know. Our future
survival really might depend on it. We don't know.
Spirit knows all about us and can handle it.

In a way, I already see them this way. Thus I feel it is important for
us to follow our inquisitive nature. What would be preferable, however,
would be to try and do so with balance. Neither being afraid to tinker
at all, or tinkering without considering the possible consequences, are
sensible approaches.

Too simple. Fool around, but take precautions! What do you think?
