The secondary point is this. If we were overpopulated, we would be having a shortage of either space (we’re not) or resources. So, let’s focus on the second one. We seem to be good on everything. Except water. That might be a problem. (Now, one could be pedantic, and explain that that’s not caused by overpopulation, but that’s not really the point, nor is it true everywhere.) So, we come to other solutions. And we have them. Mind you, the transition won’t be easy, and it definitely won’t allow us to exist in necessarily the same way.
That depends on whom you mean by we are ok as far as resources. There are after all large parts of various populations who do not have enough food, hence why I said it is difficult to talk about overpopulation on a global scale.
