By exploiting a feature of the immune system, researchers open the door for stem cell transplants to repair the brain. In experiments in mice, researchers say they have developed a way to successfully transplant certain protective brain cells without the need for lifelong anti-rejection drugs. Transplanted brain stem cells survive without anti-rejection drugs in mice. [1] But why repair something? Do we know it is broken? How would we know such a thing? We try to control and fix the cosmos, but without knowing how the cosmos should be controlled or fixed. We are engulfed in the idea of ruling nature, but we do not know (how could we?) how it should be ruled (or even if it should). If only we could leave aside arrogance and understand the meaning of our ignorance. And realize that it is actually knowledge...

This IS what we know! Leave the cosmos alone…
