Not to mention with the leaps in productivity, and the unprecedented leap in technological knowledge, a civilizations population matters much less than it did 2000 years ago. Within the next 100 years, wars will be fought by machines and robots, that were built by robots and machines, that are powered by nuclear power plants that are managed automatically. Having a population at 600 million would be worse than having a population at 350 million because we'd have to struggle to feed those 600 million.

we'd have to struggle to feed those 600 million. When not obstructed by warlords, despots, liberal manipulators or just plain ignorant collectivists, people have always proven to be quite adept at feeding themselves.
