or, just, have more kids, with basically zero plan & focus to move outward in a sustainable way into the solar system and beyond?

There's plenty of space and resources on Earth.

Tell me about your plan to harness these without fucking up the ecosystem in the process

I know, part of your worldview is that we ought to have as many "people" aka "creative minds" in existence as possible, so that we increase the holistic/global/civilizational "thoughtfulness" but please consider the hard limits of time, technology, and our Mother Earth.

I'll state again, my opinion, which is open to change... we do not need BILLIONS more people... NOW... without a firm plan to have sustainable habitats in space on ships, moons, or planets... or Type 1 energy harvesting techniques. We aren't there yet.

So it's more of a "slow your roll" technique which narratively/willingly limits the "consumers" even though we exist in some B.S. partial information game of endless growth... but the core of that is Earth, and we are harvesting faster than it can regenerate... NOW.

what ive decided to take from this is the terminal point of mass ai deployment plus aggressive eugenics

Don't decide to take that.

Seems like the logical endpoint of the constraints and desiderata you listed

Factor in my commitment to zero coercion and your logical progression will change. The awkward turtle in the room is that humanity's population is huge, and our technology is ~mediocre, and resulting from that combo, we are ravaging Earth. Many things can change in that mix.

You could definitely have noncoercive aggressive eugenics and if the cost of additional humans is high it's probably the cheapest approach economically speaking

anyway my point is this is why I rarely argue about policy

Me too. I just have a deep feeling that our population is high wrt proportionate energy consumption wrt energy tech wrt Earth regeneration rates, and I do not wish to take any political approach to it, but am interested in the idea/informational/conversational approach
