oh, you mean capitalism?

what are you, an angsty white male American 20 y.o.?

Throwing people overboard is analogous to killing. Not reproducing isn't killing. Bad analogy. Look at it more like we're on a cruise liner lost eternally at sea. Sure, there's a garden on deck that supplies food, but it only supplies enough for X people. And the fuel is limited. Wait, that's not really metaphorical at all. That's almost the literal situation earth faces.

But, yeah, patch the raft. And stop having 4 kids.

This comes without surprise. A higher median age for any population is usually indicative of higher quality of life.

There's a good TedTalks video on the subject. There's also a good book called Common Wealth written by Jeff Sachs that covers this.
