Galactic population also would have been right back where it was in, at most, a few centuries. It was a stopgap solution at best. And his comics motivation wasn't anything noble; he just wanted to bang Death and thought omnicide would turn her on.
I don't know about the comics, but there is real life result from having better education curtailing overpopulation. The Earth's population as we speak is expected to plateau, as the rest of the developing countries are catching up economically and becoming better educated. I don't see why the galactic population can't be the same.
Except that we are going to get fucked globally when developing countries become richer and have better standard of living while producing a shit-ton more waste and fucking climate even more.
Only if every developing country becomes like America.
