War happens when there’s not enough food to feed the people in a nation. Another way of saying it would be that war happens where there’s too many people in a nation to feed. Most individuals value breeding as a noble goal, and that’s respectable. But nations encourage breeding because of competitive reasons: to have expandable soldiers for war (military compatition), to increase production of goods (trade/cultural competition), to support modernization (technological competition). New humans are like missiles. I predict human population will not stabilize by themselves. 1 of 3 things will happen:
human population will grow over 10 billions
there will be human non-proliferation treaties the like of nuclear weapon non-proliferation treaties (prefered but unlikely)
large, bad losses of already existing life (war, crime, famine, disease)
