Yes and that's why I included culling in the options. Doesn't need to be voluntary. Diseases, war, famine all are under the same umbrella.

No, you've still failed to comprehend the point: people, in general, do not have more then 2 children on average, as they increase their lifestyle.

Which highlights the other reason people talking about overpopulation are unsettling: suddenly everyone's playing psychopath.

So we have to increase the lifestyle of 2/3 of the world. The West is free to have 2 or less children on average. Africa doesn't give a shit, they're too poor to afford it - so their population grows.
