> People aren't the problem. The problem is people who have negative value. A person can grow more food, build more homes ...

Resources on this Earth are limited. Things like space/real estate/ agricultural land etc. There's already a lot of pressure on them with the current level of population. I don't know about you, but if the average world citizen would consume like the average American, the planet would run out of things like some rare earth minerals fairly quickly. Pollution would also be a far bigger issue.

> The problem is people who have negative value. This is just introducing an us vs them mentality. There are no bad people, everyone is just trying to survive and get their needs met, through whatever means they have at their disposal. The people you say have negative value (for you) are exactly the people that were born in less privileged circumstances.

> A hack might be only letting people who want children and want to take care of children have kids ... There are so many ethical problems with this paragraph, that I won't even go into that.

And besides, the current political and economical system is simply not suited for such the current level of population we have. Wealth is getting concentrated more and more at the top of the pyramid, and the fat bottom of the pyramid is just becoming worse and worse a place to live in.
