Deep understanding of man-made systems? Probably not as much.

Deep understanding of Nature? As valuable as ever.

I don't understand that. So we won't (or shouldn't?) have deep understanding of man-made systems, which causes all of our problems? The history of mankind is fraught with issues stemming from not knowing what we're doing.

Humans are kind of like termites. Deep understanding of termite-made systems is also deep understanding of nature.
