A world with 10x less population growth would be a world in which there's an 81% chance neither of us would have ever existed.

When I look up at the stars I'm the night sky, they're very pretty, but mostly dead space. I want to live in a galaxy where there are literally millions of Rembrandts, Feynmans, Gauss', etc born every second. Intelligent life in all its forms is beautiful, and I want to see it light up our universe.

I don’t think we need growth but we need to sustain. Adults need to be able to create enough value for themselves, children, and elderly. So there’s a number (that changes w variables like child birth death rate and life expectancy) that you want to be greater than. Its the “above a threshold” that matters

Not necessarily. As others said before, I think it depends on the "country" and current population. Regarding Earth, it is a finite space. So, there is a limit. My question is, Can we give high quality life standards to current population (or medium) ? Can a global economy achieve it? Country segmented does not.

This is a pretty great resource to easily visualize macro-trends on population growth curves and demographic breakdowns across nations and regions: https://www.populationpyramid.net/world/2023/
