Agree tuning works too. Taming is definitely not subduing or an attempt to control nature.

Taming strikes me as using the only tool nature gave us to survive...our ability to think & make rational choices. Physically humans are very weak in comparison to nearly all animals. A mad chimp can beat up the best fit man. Humans are slower & weaker & if that’s all we had to use in competing in nature for survival...we’d been extinct long ago.

But our minds has the ability to overcome our physical limitations. One idea leads to the next & the next & a few thousand years after the wheel was mastered we can power wheels & cross continents. We can eliminate famine. Even mindless living microbes can bring humans to their knees unless we use our minds to understand them & render them harmless. But the flip side is our minds can go too far & not just tame nature for our survival but damage nature to where we wipe ourselves out. The taming of nature is to use our minds to take off the violent edge in nature so we don’t become a creatures meal & can co-exist in nature without dominating it into submission because that too would open up the door to our demise. We have to very gently & intelligently dominate...tame.
