I cant help but think negotiating those situtations is exaclty what the human needs to avoid depression. Maybe you chances of dying young are much higher, like 30% vs 1%. But die young or die old, those humans really lived.

You can still really live. You don’t need society to change to allow you to live a life of subsistence. But don’t forget those people suffered dearly. Infant mortality, disease, crippling injuries, etc. They would have killed for your luxuries. The grass is always greener on the other side.
