Freud on the clash of the 'pleasure principle' and the 'reality principle':

”In the same way, a nation whose wealth rests on the exploitation of the produce of its soil will yet set aside certain areas for reservation in their original state and for protection from the changes brought about by civilization. (E.g. Yellowstone Park)” (Freud 1911, p. 234)

The wild, only where we allow it? Is that still 'wild'?!
