The more people, the more people. Human experience is beautiful. If you don't think so, don't have children and end your life prematurely. If you are still here, means you are hypocrite that enjoys human experience but don't want others to do so.

The more water the more water. If you don’t think so just drown yourself.

I enjoy going for a swim, it doesn’t mean I want there to be no more land.

Overcrowded conditions are not conducive to the good life. E.g. Life in Kowloon Walled City wasn't beautiful
There are plenty of space on the Earth, you don't need to live in New York or London.

For now...

What we're finding out as we study living systems (remember that ecology is a science) is that many of the subsystems involved spans quite large areas, e.g the Monarch Butterfly migrations, or the effects of ocean currents on climate.

The point is that unrestricted growth just isn't possible, so somewhere between Yukon and Kowloon there's a "sweet spot".
