I'm not sure how to take this—as a fun exercise, or serious. I guess since the questions seem serious, that's where I have my hesitation.
I guess I want to say that the saying "Curiosity killed the cat" has been around for at least 400 years, and was probably more often used then and since as a way for parents to warn their children from doing something dangerous, like lighting firecrackers in their hands or jumping off the roof.
Just because it can be done doesn't mean it should be done.
However, I suppose government does practice a form of this warning simply because they don't want people questioning what they're doing. In democracies, or constitutional republics, it is the duty of the citizenry to be well informed and to absolutely question the validity of all activities.
I don't know if curiosity is behind all technological inventions. i'm told necessity is the mother of all inventions, so there's probably a competing opinion in there somewhere. And there's something to be said for keeping your head down when there's nothing to be gained by rabble rousing, or being contrary for contrary's sake, but that can lead to avoiding responsibilities to speak up when there is something to be concerned about.
So, I suppose, there's a balance to be struck, and we should consider the source, who's waving us off from discovery, figure out why, and go from there.
Thanks for detailed explanation. The question is indeed serious but i like to add some fun into everything
