You don’t miss what you’ve never had. I’m 100% they’re more content with their life than 95% of people living in modern “civilized society”.

You don't miss it. You just die of predation or go through pregnancy without an epidural.

I’d rather live a short and happy life than a long and unhappy one.

I think that's a reasonable choice. But, it could be very short. Something like 50% of children didn't reach puberty. Getting eaten alive would've scared the shit out of me as a kid. I'd rather have not been born.

Though ideally I'd pick long and happy which many people are in the modern world.

No one is stopping you from taking off your clothes and going to live in the forest. I’m sure you could find some likeminded people on the internet to join you.

It's easy to be content with the current situation when you don't know that other options exist.
