very interesting topic.
i agree that knowledge is like a virus. it consists mostly of information, and requires a host to be spread.
apart from that, knowledge is typically considered a good thing, no?
at least in our current, modern understanding.
In this specific case, the knowledge regarding how to build a house is easier to acquire than the knowledge regarding the delicate balance of the ecosystem which used to thrive where you built your house.
Some knowledge is easier to acquire than other knowledge, and that inequity breaks things that only get figured out generations or centuries down the line.
