So, is this good or is this bad? I thought for years, the argument was that "peak child" is the reason we would not reach a malthusian overpopulation dystopia.

So, is this good or is this bad? I thought for years, the argument was that "peak child" is the reason we would not reach a malthusian overpopulation dystopia. I get that people and societies cannot envision a world without infinite growth, but the other end of that was coming against natural limits of resource consumption. Which is it? Was Malthus right or will we naturally reach peak child and that's also bad? Both out-comes are bad? You cannot believe both, otherwise, you need to explicitly say what that secret third thing of a perspective is.
