Curiously, what "bit more", exactly?
Well, this is something I am not sure I can properly define.
And I will not even argue if you'll say that it's just something (wrong) in my head.
The Cypherpunk attitude?
Attitude, yes, can be one direction. Cypherpunk attitude.. not necessarily, or maybe not that strict.
You had to start before the 50 to 25 ½ ing to be an OG

World population growth will resolve itself. It's already happening.
Just look at Japan. Destroy middle class wealth and prosperity, socialize everything, make work meaningless, stressful and boring (zombie corps), and soon the young people stop having babies.
Create MCS (Main Character SyndromeTM), aka create a self-absorbed, narcissistic youth preoccupied with navel gazing and selfies, and no long term career prospects, no money, nothing but debt, and they stop having babies.
Problem solved.
mmm you could be correct one day
but until shrinkage occurs you are wrong.
It's not about right or wrong but if an increase or a decrease might pose a problem. They both do. And both kind of problems can by solved...
And since humans will have to solve problems, it's better to have more brains working on it then lesser. Hence the solution will be free education for poor people who have the brain power but no access to education.
I don't think you are one of them, but there are people who think it'd be better that humans (one of the wonders of mother nature) should be eradicated from earth. To them I always say: "Go on, start with yourself!". Nobody does it, because they actually value human life (at least their own)
We are both saying we think fixing would be better than not fixing it.
So we are both right as the alternative is crash and burn which I do not advocate and I do not think you want that either.
If we do nothing and we slowly switch to negative growth in under 10 or 15 years it could be the best solution.
