I think the best reason for a lower population is that in the age of AI having 8 billion people of every persuasion with access to a wealth of destructive information and accelerated research it's inevitable someone is going to start a fire we can't put out. Be it a grey goo scenario, a weaponized or misaligned super intelligence or a bioweapon or lab accident which I'm certain covid was. Our best shot right now at surviving the next 50 years is to reduce our population and hope that proportionally reduces the risk of an existential threat by self replicating means. A nuclear war might actually save our species. Is that a radical point of view? Pretty sure the logic is sound at least
