There's a bit of a difference between population control and reaching a sustainable equilibrium. One can also argue the death of all life on earth is a pretty evil logical conclusion of infinite growth on a finite planet.

What does "sustainable equilibrium" mean?

What are you balancing if not human growth? And how do you plan to do that?

  • Doesn't it kind of work itself out?

    If it’s unsustainable population growth there will eventually be some catastrophic environmental effects and the population will be reduced to a sustainable level. Of course living during that reduction could be a rather unpleasant experience but it probably also won’t last too long.

    If it’s already sustainable everything is fine.
