I think the population is going to decline because having kids seems really less appealing when you live in one of the emerging mega urban slums of the 21st century.
Packed into an overly urbanized blade runner society makes one think twice about having kids.
False. The top 1% might shift to be the leaders of a Communist uprising. The key is to recognize those upcoming shifts, and make sure that you're in that top 1%.

Most of the US is empty. We could use a lot more white people. We just have to better use water supplies by building more dams and aqueducts in the West.

Any country could use more white people right now. Russia and Ukraine are getting desperate already. Think of it like this, if every white woman adopts one child policy, each new white generation could only be half from the previous.
You could run out of people in a few generations, espcially if there is a cataclysmic event.

Math is pretty much the correct way to look at things. When is the human race going to start doing really fucked up things to lower the population?
When people with the power to kill lots of other people cannot survive comfortably, then they will systematically find a way to end the lives of enough people so that they can continue to live.
I think you could even do a neat little mathematical equation, though I do not know how how would account for unforeseen catastrophes using math.
My guess is that by 2050 the shit is going to hit the fan.
1 pound of shit per day per person.
8 pounds shit in gallon.
7.48 gallons in cubic foot. 60 pounds per cubic foot.
That is 5 million cubic feet of shit every day.
A shit square 2,240 feet by 2,240 feet 1 foot deep. All pure shit, no piss.
That is over one sq mile of shit one foot deep every 6 days. In one year it is 60 square miles of shit one foot deep.
Then I will aim to be one of the 10 richest people in the world, if that's what it takes. I will step on your neck, and push you into the abyss, if that's what it takes.
Life is a battle, and I play to win.
I would and will kill you just on principle, money reward or not.
I would gladly allow you credit for winning as long as you are dead.
The bottom 99%. That's why you always want to be fighting for a spot in the top 1%. Whether the world is down to 1 million people living a stone age life, or 10 billion people in a digital age life. Doesn't matter. You want to be in the top 1%.
