i love the faction of galaxy-brain twitter that insists overpopulation isn't a real problem

The politics of the Left insists that overpopulation can’t be a problem because, like, eugenics and stuff.

It’s a political view, not a practical one. If the human population of the earth were 500 million instead of 7 billion+, our problems would be much more manageable and vastly easier to solve — while we could still live a at a very high technological level.

Overpopulation and the Malthusian trap are not behind us, no matter what you read.
