Implying that that the majority of the people living there somehow made a conscious and at least a marginally informed choice to live how they do is more than bizarre.
- defrost 3y agoThat's certainly true of both the UK and Germany (and many other countries) where the majority of the population found themselves Born, Never Asked [1]. Is there a reason you'd make such a banal generic point specific to the Torres Strait Island or Tiwi Islands?

- Aerbil313 3y agoImplying that because they live in worse material conditions they have worse mental health or lower levels of happiness is even more bizarre. Makes you think what aspects of life you’d want to optimize for.
- Fricken 3y agoIt goes both ways, dude.
- ffgjgf1 3y agoNo it doesn’t. If fully informed basically nobody living in modern society would chose to adopt that lifestyle (even if they somehow magically acquired all the skills required to succeed there etc.). The opposite is certainly not true
- Fricken 3y agoHunter gatherers are like you. They are bound to their identity and are incapable of imagining things any other way unless it is forced upon them. They prefer to stick with what they know.
