Doubtful. If you’re living a life that seems far below average then there would be no reason not to hit the shuffle button. Heck, since the concept of reincarnation doesn’t inherently include a limit on number of respawns then there would be no reason to stick with even a mildly above average life, because you might as well just keep hitting respawn until you wind up in a far above average life.
From what I’ve seen, life sucks for everyone except the hyper wealthy. Money certainly makes life easier, but the nature of our existance or our society seems to impose restrictions on living a truly good life unless you are completely diconnected from the idea of darwinism or consequence.
I dont think reincarnating would result in happiness, it would just prove that you were always going to be unhappy and that achieving happiness is more of something you always strive for to have hope but never really achieve.
Honestly life probably still sucks for the hyper wealthy. Is it a more comfortable suck, sure, but they just get stuck into other patterns of unattainable goals. While there suffering is most likely self inflicted, i.e they base fulfillment on being the most powerful/wealthy yet never are able to attain it, they still never truly reach what they deem fulfilling lives. The fucked part is their greed and need for power ends up wrecking other life’s who may have sensible goals of fulfillment, like being able to survive without being constantly on edge living pay check to paycheck. Now those goals could be attainable if those at the top weren’t wrecking havoc on the world chasing unattainable fulfillment and making the most basic fulfillment which should be attainable unattainable for the masses, yet here we are.
Nah, if you’re going to respawn anyway, might as well try to improve this life the best you can. Even if you fail, it’s fine, you can always retry. I agree though that people with debilitating disability or disease would likely retry.
