      A faultering population can be a factor in societal collapse depending on the manpower required to run the society’s infrastructure.

      What happens when there’s not enough people to man the power station that runs the car plants that pays the workers to allow them to go buy a cup of coffee? It’s all interconnected.

        Have you heard of neverending legacy? Its a (mostly unfinished) webgame by orteil42, creator of cookie clicker. Overpopulation is the real problem in the endgame, and its incredibly hard to cull the population without everyone dying of hunger.

          Gonna need to push that space exploration budget instead of constantly going to war.

          Then again, having more planets would mean a larger desire for power and greed would easily spark a space war.

          Either way, humanity isn’t the perfect race.
