Just to remind you that we were ~2 billions on earth in 1924, which means that the population has more than quadrupled during these 100 years. If it keeps going, we will be more than 12 billions in 2124, so it would means that, for example, the Indian and Chinese populations will be overcrowded and that immigration will be an integral part of our lives to fill areas with fewer people.

But haven't we already reached the limit of people we can accommodate on earth?

I guess the limit has not yet been reached so this generation would still be good for a few decades

The problem is that if I told my plan to solve overpopulation, I would be called a 'bad person'

The plan is effective tho

Yes and no. Yes, if you look at some countries where population density is really high. No, if you look the overall average of population density.

No there aren't, there are too many people in specific areas, but not globally. Like everytime I hear this I remember the fact that 2/3rds of the US alone is not inhabited by huge population centres.

Not really, the Malthus' theory was proved to be incorrect times and times again. The population growth rates are slowing down everywhere, yes even in African countries, so even though you see an overall population increase in these countries, its tempo is slowing down and is not going up any time soon. Say, there used to be 100 (random number) population surplus (more babies than dead people) each day in 2000. Then this number went down to 90, then to 80, etc. Now that it's 10, the population is increasing, sure, however not by much. And as the technology advances in Africa, it will be decaying all the same. European, American and some Asian countries have already passed this stage long time ago, and you see a declining birthrate. Same thing is going to happen in Africa.

And China and India? They have decaying population growth rates since like 90s. Unless we get another technological leap, the population is not going to change that much in 100 years. And if the leap does happen, then that means our technology will be on the level to support this population number, which is also nothing to worry about.

So we are not too overcrowded yet, even though it looks like we're too much because of global inequalities

even if a technology leap does happen, would it even alter the population growth rate by much? since the mortality rate is already very low
ig if life expectancy goes up by a significant amount

UN projected human population to stagnate at 10.4 billion in 2080.
It really depends on the research, some says it will stagnate at like 9 billion in 2050 ish while some say it will do so past 2100 with 13 billion people or so. There are way too many factoe to take into account here so just get the bracket i guess.

Thx for the source!

It's crazy that we don't really have a clear source of what's going to happen a hundred years from now

Inequalities nowadays is more about wealth concentration. I.e., "The rich got richer but the poor got poorer, and it's harder for the poor to get richer". As of now we produced more food than we could eat.

“Overpopulation” is a buzzword used to, at worst, justify ecofascism. The real problem is the largest portion of resources being owned by the smallest portion of people.
