Same thing can be applied to humans, with Earth as our closed off space.
Evolutionary traits are kicking in to stop overpopulation. All natural. Might drive us to extinction, might not.
These studies are interesting but I disagree on the conclusions and direct comparison from animals to humans needs to be done with some thought because humans are not static in anything they do. Heres a great one I remember but I dont agree we can just xerox this over to the idea humans will break the earth, we can do alot better in our actions.
This is unlikely to be true from just basic view of land area vs population of humans. Its very possible humans are wasteful in a needless way, I dont disagree there but we are not literally running out of space to live in. We may require development in our population growth, just like the economy of China has no choice now but to develop properly not just use cheap labour.
I think it was true up until about a decade or so ago that every person on the planet could stand on a small island off the British coast, not the mainland itself just one of the many little islands it has in the channel between UK and Europe. We really dont have that many people, half the earth is still empty and not used properly. We can ruin lots of the land but its also possible we just use it properly, most starve because of war and corruption not because too many babies forced a loss, this is a modern fallacy thats been repeated all my life and untrue the whole time.
People at a basic level are productive, they do work and benefit a nation in that work and society is richer from a population working usefully. We got a country like Kazakhstan with about the land mass of Europe but with the population of about two of the Uk cities. Vast parts of Russia I think are still alot like that, Australia obviously and some is desert area but I dont doubt people can find ways to be productive. I really dont buy this too many people narrative, its how the people are used. We can screw it all up like Venezuela did or we can see great gains ahead. I got far more hope in the people then a failed idea like QE turning out to be smart, people are like gold bricks compared to the worth of ideas politics comes out with so I'll always value the people as the saviour of a country and its economy. The people will demand proper currency standards, they want to be paid properly for hard work and the small detail on that I dont know but they wont put up with monopoly money and endless inflation.
