By every possible quality of life metric, things have been getting better and better for humans.

People have predicted the population bomb many times for hundreds of years, and every time they have been wrong.

Scientists predict human population to peak in 2040 anyway. I think that we can make it till then.

The world supports the current population quite well, right now.

I hope I wasn't predicting a population bomb. What I was suggesting was that the existing population level is sustained by organized human activity at a scale that can't be managed by independent individuals or small groups. Thus a proposed restructuring of society requires a credible plan for maintaining or replacing some specific activities such as the Haber process.
