Population control WILL happen; it is inevitable, because either we will do it or mother nature will do it.

Covid? That's Mother Nature's population control and this is just a small taste of how bad it could get.

I promise you controlling our own population would be a much more pleasant option for everyone.

We have observed this time and time again in lab settings with many other species; when population density in a given ecosystem gets too high, plagues happen, famine happens, infant mortality happens, hyperaggression happens.

Like it or not it's gonna happen, it's just a question of do you want it rough or gentle.
