It's not that we have too many people, it's that we have an inefficient system based on exploiting those people and not providing for them.

We could probably sustain several times the current population... just not with the current methods we use.

We could also just optimize efficiency and not make more people.

Less people means more wealth, as wealth is a limited resource on earth we need to share it, if we reduce the shares we all have more. There is absolutely no need for more when less gets the job done as well.
