Chapter 1586: Confusion

He was now facing a problem: the conflict between wilderness ethics and human development.

Adhering to wilderness ethics required him to follow the principle of making the wilderness more prosperous. In contrast, human development prioritized human interests. If he wanted to help primitive people quickly escape poverty, he would have to damage the wilderness.

Is it possible to achieve a balance between the two?

Must human development encroach upon the territory of wild animals? His heart was full of doubt. Perhaps it's inevitable. But he thought wild animals must accept this reality; their own survival is so arduous, with few living long lives, that they likely wouldn't pay attention to or contemplate human development. They simply act on instinct.

If they truly act on instinct, can they really perceive the existence of wilderness ethics and follow it?
