That is a valid question, but not what I believe. A friendly world begins with a reduced demand, and demand is driven up by reproduction, not by mortality (quite the opposite). Your species’ logistic map could autobalance around some happy value even with reproduction still on, but you throw all your forces to both reproduction and a reduction of starvation factors. There is no stable point to converge to with these parameters, and humans will always fluctuate from cleanup to rebuild to shortages to destruction. You consume too much, too effectively and double in size in quickly decreasing intervals, that’s the problem.
