I will add a few words to this heated discussion. Medieval peasant could have felt as wonderful as you do on his bed made from straw, he’d be a dapper fella in his new linen shirt that he got from a fair when his previous one, that he has worn for a decade, became worn out. He’d be as full after eating his meal as you were, he’d be as excited to play his fancy hurdy-gurdy or humble jaw harp. He’d have his irl shitposting by joking around with his buddies. You may not work harder for roughly the same feelings of content as a medieval peasant but, I think that our life is way less fulfilling. Spirituality, deep connection to extended family and neighbors, ability to sleep without pharma mafia and many other things made his life of higher quality than ours.
