The carrying capacity of the earth is not static. Technological advancements continually expand it. We aren't living in a glass bottle, but a rubber balloon.

On that one, I'm fully with Myrkul !
Technology can bring the carrying capacity of the earth well beyond we think possible.
The monetary system and corrupted values that it promotes make the actual "beleived carying capacity" !
Capitalism puts breaks on technological advancement, and whitout those outdated-capitalist constraint, we could have 100x more effectiver solar panel, lab grown meat that is exactly the same as the actual meat we eat, cure for cancer... etc..
Remove $ and we can more than double the carrying capacity of the earth. We are not short on space to live, we are short on food and energy, because of the $ system.
