What on Earth? When you say “may I” you presumably mean “is this a good idea” since obviously we’re not in a position to stop you. But you’re already aware of the arguments why it isn’t a good idea and you don’t address them here, so it’s not clear that you have a good purpose for this comment in mind.
I interpreted as akin to a call to a suicide hot-line.
‘This is sounding like a good idea...’
(Can you help / talk me out of it?)
If this is the case, we can probably give support. I certainly understand how curiosity can pull, and Warrigal may already be rationalizing that he probably won’t make progress, and we can give advice that balances that. But then, is it true that Warrigal should be afraid of knowledge?

I don’t think it’s fear of knowledge that leads me to suggest you don’t try to build a catapult to twang yourself into a tree.
