what I actually meant is that they live the way we evolved to live. Despite having less than the poorest people in Western countries, they were happy (I realize I almost sound like the WEF).

I know what you mean. There is value in simple living. WEF & Progressives in general can have some fun house mirror version of Conservative values, so they have a fun house mirror version of simple living.

Paying rent to live in a small pod VS owning a small cottage/cabin to live in.

Not owning many possessions beacuse you're renting nearly everything VS not owning many possessions because you don't need alot of posessions to feel happy.

Literally eating bugs as part of an everyday diet VS eating very no-frills & cheap meals as part of an everyday diet. Beans, meat & rice type of meals. Soup type of meals. (of course I know poverty & food scarity can be an issue where African tribes would actually HAVE to eat bugs, but no one should strive for that.)
