You said to the world not to humanity.

In which case, overpopulation is the biggest threat. The world doesnt care if an underpopulated human species dies out.

The idea that human overpopulation is a problem is a myth. We have more than enough space and resources to have billions more humans on earth, but we need to have a better system for allocation of resources than Western capitalism that is going to lead us to ruin.

The population is artificially high because there's better technology for food and medicine, and because women's knowledge of contraception and abortion were forcibly erased a few hundred years ago. The "my grandmother was the youngest of seventeen kids and her mother was the oldest of twenty-two" stories from oldsters are not typical in human history.

Underpopulation is an inconceivable boogeyman at this point.

Neither.

People who think the world is overpopulated tend to ignore the fact that we live incredibly privileged and selfish lives and consume a grossly disproportionate amount of the world's resources.

People who think underpopulation is a problem are usually racist shitheads who believe in "white genocide" type bullshit.

Shut the fuck up Tommy

It is absolutely a myth. There is a resource distribution issue, not a population issue. Even just in the US populations are very densely packed around a handful of urban areas.

47% of the land in the US is entirely undeveloped. I want a large portion to stay this way, but we have waaaay more than enough land here to support a much larger population than currently.

It becomes a matter of removing the gates around resources and give people what they need to live

Maybe let's work on helping the population already on the planet instead of worrying about nonsense.

"Humans haven't completely driven out all other life on the planet yet" isn't really a good argument for calling overpopulation a myth.

We have been far beyond overpopulated for a long time. We should work to dramatically reduce the population over time and stop monopolizing the world's resources just for humans.

Anyone saying the planet can physically support more humans, and ignoring if it should, is making that argument.

You forgot the "both" scenario, where populations are lamenting collapsing birthrates and the costs of social programs for an aging population, yet pitch a fit at the idea of immigrants filling out the impending demographic voids.
