The world is overpopulated with humans. If we acted in harmony with the rest of our ecosystem we could consider ourselves successful and adaptive. Instead we are like parasites. This is not part of the "green" ideology, this is fact.
Based on what evidence?  We produce enough food, goods, and services for our population.  Lack of quantity isn't the reason people in some parts of the world are starving.  The world produces enough food, we just don't distribute it very well.

the overpopulation argument is only put by people who don't understand demographics

you want to curb population growth? make people richer.

Yes, Earth's vast food supplies are put to poor use. Our present human nature prevents us from being a successful global species. We conduct business like we (animals) have been doing so for a very long time-- and species have been going extinct for even longer. Unless we have some major breakthroughs in our understanding of the cosmos soon, we are 99% probably going to go extinct.

We're actually doing pretty good. Only thing we need to know is how to colonize space and shoot down asteroids.

Yeah, the earth won't last forever either.  It's not like we are on the brink of extinction though.  What is your point exactly?

All signs point to eminent mass extinction. Whether or not we survive is up to us. Most other Earth life forms don't have that luxury. My point is I see a fundamental flaw in our biology that will prevent us from escaping extinction indefinitely. Earth is marvelous, but there are countless other equal worlds throughout the cosmos.

If we become able to manipulate and dictate the molecular and sub-atomic world, we may survive.

No, you just like more fat in your steak because you've been conditioned to believe a juicy steak is good.

I don't eat steak, it looks and tastes like turd on a plate.

you have a shitty palate/cant cook steak for shit.

Aussie grass fed beef is pretty good, I'm not a big fan of "marbled" beef tbh.

Actually my sister does most of the cooking.
I could eat the best steak breakfast lunch and dinner at the best eateries and it would barely make a ripple in my finances, but I don't because its shit.

My point realy was we wouldn't need to take risks with stuff like releasing genetically modified organisms into the ecosystem if people hadn't been suckered into eating garbage like steak, but then whatever we do to improve the food supply is only going to cause population expansion as the goobers breed faster and faster, so from that perspective its a zero sum game, the net effect is the same or worse. If people want to lead short, unhealthy lives due to their diet 'choices' thats for them.

OTOH Whichever marketing guy figured out how to get people to want a turd sandwich was a damn genius.
