That'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?

Implying 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.

Hunter 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.
