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?

The USA has a birth rate just barely above replenishment (and dropping), Europe has dropped below replenishment rate, etc.
