Technology is the application of knowledge to control the natural world. It's the greatest driver of both human prosperity and our capacity for self-annihilation.

Wondering what technology would be/act/feel like if it meshed with the natural world rather than worked to control it?
Technology only works if it meshes perfectly with the natural world. If your wings are the wrong shape, you don't fly. Using it to affect the world doesn't separate it from the world. Quite the opposite.

Er I'm not sure about this. Technology so far has been more about creating bubbles of "what we want" rather than meshing with the world. I wouldn't say complying with the laws of physics is meshing.

Controlling and conforming (meshing with) may both miss the reality about technology and the world. There is often much more of mutual influence and impact.

Let's use technology to optimize for biosphere abundance, and send our nature-hacking species across the stars to spread the biosphere.

Is that true? Technology only works if it meshes perfectly with the natural world? It seems like there are many examples where that's not the case
