Carrying capacity is estimated at 7.7 billion. And I have seen that Hans Roslings predictions have been revised upwards. Doesn't look good either way.

Sure, but what's the end goal? That we all end up like caged chickens? We could probably cram in lots of people that way.
IMHO the idea of a goal is an attractive illusion.
