To what end? When a population gets to a size where continued growth actively hurts or lowers quality of life shouldn't that be considered.

If you had an arc ship sending ppl to hopefully a new planet. That ship has limited space and resources, at what point do you stop expanding the population of the crew and passengers?

No — I don’t think we’re anywhere near that and I think we lack the judgment to accurately assess.

I think we’ve heard the same end-of-humanity-death-cultism throughout history, and each time, continued growth led to a better humanity.
