Destroying everything is ineffecient. A global one child policy would allow for a gradual controlled population decline with retention of industrial capacity. The problem is then getting a big enough stick to compell the world to go along. But you wpuldn't have to use it so that means you could go crazy on that end.

I have no idea what people think they are doing being paracites on society.

Pedant. My point about economic production and actual utility being dissimilar stands.
