I wonder if you consider harmony with nature a myth then does it not follow that you must also consider harmony between humans as a myth? We place limits on ourselves all the time to accommodate for our neighbors. We surrender as he says in a battle with our neighbors and capitulate to their unreasonable demands.

> To limit it is to limit human life. To limit us, and not other animals, is to single out humans for punishment and degradation.

Limitations form the basis for all free societies. You can argue if a specific limitation makes sense but equating it to punishment makes no sense. Do we punish our fellow citizen by imposing laws and rules on them?

I think he would have a better point if he argued that he considers the concept of harmony with nature ill defined. For example if one species drives another to extinction without human intervention. Do we intervene? Do we let nature runs its course?
