"No antibiotics" - true
"Modern sanitation" - only really necessary in cities. But 90% of populace lived in the countryside. My grandparents did just fine without any kind of modern sanitation.
"Internet" - true, but also irrelevant for quality of life.
"refrigeration" - completely unnecessary when you have fresh food.
"central heating" - completely unnecessary as medieval houses weren't massive and could be heated just fine with a fireplace
"not much education" - true... to an extent.
"massive infant mortality" - true, but if you didn't survive infancy, you wouldn't worry about living in Middle Ages, would you?
"no way to travel faster to a horse" - so not having something completely useless is relevant for quality of life?
All and all, your objections a) completely miss the point and b) are kinda weird.

- aldarion 2y agoI don't know. I'm used to life as is, but I wouldn't be hurt if places got swapped.
