Plus you have to be really stupid to think that having a ton more people would reduce the quality of life on the planet when there's literally no evidence of that being true nor does it match up with human history. Quality of life around the globe has been increasing as time passes and the world's population grows. Plus implying that were so close to making out our resources that if we have a larger population, there wouldn't be enough to maintain our lifestyle is patently absurd when you see how much food we throw away and how we pay Farmers to literally not grow food.

Overpopulation is 100% a myth, any credible source will tell you the same thing. I

Here are the top 15 most populated countries
1 China
2 India
3 United States
4 Indonesia
5 Pakistan
6 Brazil
7 Nigeria
8 Bangladesh
9 Russia
10 Japan
11 Mexico
12 Philippines
13 Egypt
14 Ethiopia
15 Vietnam

Great quality of life countries we got there.
In fact, in the top 20 only 3 are developed.

And the population rises because quality of life improved, not the other way around. That's just logic. If or when the exponential technology growth starts hitting a ceiling the average quality would definitely dip the more people there are.

Exactly, so the population won't keep increasing if quality of life starts to decrease. So worrying about overpopulation is just plain ignorant.

Lol but if you're seriously going to argue that a countries population is the only thing that determines quality of life then idk if I have the patience to go over all the reasons that's wrong. Plus you're literally just looking at overall population and not how it's relative to landmass or anything else. In fact looking at your list of countries and one thing becomes clear, there's literally no pattern or rhyme nor reason to them at all, so it basically proves that population size and quality of life are unrelated. I mean China has probably the fastest growing economy in the world and theyve been pulling millions of their citizens out of poverty as their population grows.

Anyways even if we ignore all of that, I need an actual reason to believe overpopulation has ever done any of the things you say it will do, and I need a reputable source saying that it's about issue we need to be worried about.
