I think there is a lot of good-sense in these thoughts; however, 500,000,000 is perhaps an unrealistic figure for the population. Exponential population growth is not sustainable-Truth. 2 Billion is more attainable.I fear that imposing this reduction could result in a Tyranny we have not yet witnessed-it will require very careful, humane implementation-and Consensus.

I also believe 500,000,000 is unattainable by our different cultural population figures across our planet. China is a planet in itself as well as India.:) If we only had another habitable planet Mars in the future or maybe in the past or the now gone Malona/Phaaeton we would be spread out nicely. I think if we can somehow miraculously reach the 2.5 to 3 billion range we have really progressed. We are at double or nearly triple that now. Hope we get a plan implemented in time before we end up like Akart.

Michael,
529 million humans are the peak number which is sustainable for the size of the planet Earth without over stressing the natural resources, based on ARABLE land suitable for growing food. However, there is technology like hypo-genetics, which does not require arable land to grow food.
However, the only way to reach this number quickly in order to seriously effect the negative consequences of a current and growing population of over 8 billion is drastic measures like sterilization, official sanctioned extermination of non productive, destructive individuals and other measures which will question the sanity of ethical humaneness.
But, then, is it ethical to continue overpopulation, which brings forth massive starvation, wars, and other negative impacts? Thus, the most logical and humane approach is to reduce the population to 2 billion and develop the technology to sustain this number until further reduction can be maintained. When Earth humans develop the capacity to find another planet for mass migration, may be the last option.
It's a complicated solution because of different political views, religious dogmas and of course, those in power that have no interest in these matters as it treads on their greed and lust for power.

I agree with many things you write about. I think society has set it up so man is somewhat confused from birth with so many certain standards that should be met according to society. They say you have to marry at this age or earn this much, follow this or you are not a part of the popular populace. I think if each individual gains confidence in themselves and doesn't follow everything society says is right rather choose for themselves, our dear planet Earth will have find citizens all around to change it for the better. The problem is people like to follow at this current time, when they should follow that voice in there heads that tells them right from wrong. They just want to fit in I guess. Eventually I hope all people of Earth build confidence so our world can be built with all our voices heard.
