One thing about that hypothetical world - we would have a strong economical incentive to expand inwards and outwards - to start underwater settlements, to turn deserts into habitable, arable lands, to build Mars colonies and Venus cloud cities. Those things aren't beyond our technological capabilities now, we just have no strong incentive to do them.

That doesn't solve the problem on Earth, it only spreads it across the solar system.

It's logical, it's clear - there's only one way to go from here. Without a doubt, the only way to go from here is out!
