Wrong.
You want the largest viable population. That is, a population below carrying capacity.
A population over carrying capacity just consumes the environment that sustains it and dies off collectively.
Today we are over carrying capacity at a global level, and many regions are also over carrying capacity at a local level.
The population centers built around groundwater aquifers pumped aggresively, overfishing, or dying topsoil, which are most of them, are doomed.
Unless there is an innovation that unlocks rapid topsoil regeneration, freshwater replenishment, and plentiful food sources covering the growing global demand for fish, at scale and meeting market demand at low prices, humanity is bound to have a conflict over the remaining resources.
