I somewhat agree.
The thing is that even if we did everything perfectly, the human race would still reproduce until it is unsustainable. It is in our nature.
We are supposed to be animals, but at some point (discovery of agriculture) we detached from the food chain and defied mother nature. It is not possible to be sustainable from this point onwards.
Personally I believe that human conscienceness was a mistake in evolution. If I could press a button that would kill billions of people including myself I would do so without hesitation.

Sure, if you ignore the fact that global birthrates are falling, and sharply in some places.
Yeah that's because we hit max population. Population will start decreasing pretty soon I think.
I said that if we lived "sustainably" we would reproduce until we couldn't anymore
