I wish a global collapse would happen, I think it could do humanity some good in the long run.

I won't go as far to say a collapse would be good, but I think being mindful of our rate of expansion would be nice. There are limits to everything, why do we need to push all of them including the population limit?
Economically successful countries have lower birth rates. Want to decrease birth rates? Help the 3rd World become economically successful.
The USA has a birth rate just barely above replenishment (and dropping), Europe has dropped below replenishment rate, etc.
