> "Improving human wealth" is hardly the point of anything at all.

Human wealth enables to do anything beyond the natural course of events where most people die after a very short-lived and miserable existence. Where we're subject to starvation, disease, dangerous animals, or perishing due to mundane cold, heat and other natural events.

Now, if you don't care about wealth, you basically end up being a consumerist. Fritter away whatever humanity can manage to produce on immediate consumption. Progress stagnates and humanity degenerates. If you claim to be none of those, you're probably just anti-human. In which case, nothing is stopping you from a pro-active start on depopulation.
