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.
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.
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.
Unless we are able to escape into another universe, I don’t think it’s possible. There are a lot of human issues that can be fixed, and therefore “improve” the world. I do agree with that.
But beyond that, i think we’re fighting the nature of the universe itself. Our universe in darwinian in nature, to thrive you consume resources from a limited pool of resources. For a lot of people, and all life as we know it, it seems to be a rule that in order to achieve “happiness” you have to reproduce. The very fact that this graph represents every single population of life outside of advanced lifes influence shows that the nature of life is to take. Consume more and more of limited resources until those resources become a limiting factor. Which inherently means you are consuming at the expense of others, even if those others arent even created yet.
The nature of our universe tends towards entropy, you can NEVER fix our universe because it sunply doesnt contain limitless energy. To consume, to exist, is to impose restrictions on all other life. Life is the problem, because life is the only thing capable capable of experiancing the unjust nature of our universe. But our universe creates life.

Yeah, I think you have to try to make the world better, so that when you come back you have a better time
