This is something I have thought about alot and came to the conclusion that we would evolve into a liquid.

The earths actual carrying capacity would be reached well before that number

Whoever made that calculation is dumb

The first reply claims that the number would take too long to reach.

Population growth seems scarily exponential at the moment, if we were to keep up that rate surely humans would race towards that kind of figure.

Maybe OP assumes the machines have taken over and are growing us in vats?

Never.

While growth seems exponential, the population is balanced by other forces. You would be forgiven for thinking that kind of number is reachable but as a population grows, so does society, and for some reason this keeps us from reproducing like a virus.

Japan always seemed 10 years ahead and perhaps it still is as their population has started decreasing recently.

It makes you wonder, doesn't it? Also, the Old Greeks seemed to view that in a positive light, probably because they were try to get beyond survivalist behaviours, I don't know.

Not sure about the opinions I have made, but I double checked every fact and they all seem to hold up.

Wow, moreso than I realised. That is terrifying.

> as a population grows, so does society
Almost a tautology.

The graph seems to show that population decreased in 2014.

It will trigger an integer overflow and the earth's population goes negative.

No we tried that and it made things worse.

The way I see it, is that things will unfold as they will unfold and all we can do is take an active interest in the patterns resulting from a system beyond our understanding.
