Here’s hoping — the world’s overpopulated — ZPG/NPG should be the goal, not a concern.
I too have never understood how a declining population is a bad thing in current context. It is blindingly obvious that the quantity and quality of our resource base is declining. In order to maintain a high standard of living population needs to decline. Its as if most people can, but choose not to connect the dots because then they couldn’t have free ham sandwiches!
