There is a tradeoff between risks of too many people (population explosion, environmental damage) and too few people (economic collapse, replacement by AI), with an upper limit (20 billion seems horrifying) and lower limit (extinction is bad), so we must find balance

Luigi ZalesEvidence Quote
“if you had to argue the risks of too many people and a population that continues to explode versus the risks of too few people maybe there's an upper limit and and a lower limit so I'm I'm pro-human but the idea of 20 billion of us on this planet is a pretty horrifying possibility that said the idea of us making ourselves extinct is is not really a great possibility either”
