And curiosity doesn't always mean that you go poking into things you shouldn't. Actually, curiosity can be pretty healthy, if you pair it with a good dose of caution, you know? That's what the critical capacity is for. Logic and reason and critical thinking should at the very least let you know when to be careful."
