Damn, Thanos! We are overpopulated, I agree. But human numbers have always (and I do mean always, as long as we've been able to track it) adjusted to the sustainability of their environment given all but the most dire of economic factors that might affect that. Right now, we're seeing a rapid decline in children being born throughout the world. Just because it doesn't happen on a particular time table doesn't mean it's not correcting itself.
