No.
That is not what I think .. and not what I wrote... re-read.

As I wrote ...
Even the worst case population growth curve you yourself posted ... still puts the total human global population leveling off long before far under that maximum sustainable capacity point of zero room for anything else.

Assumption? No, demonstrated fact.
Oh really ?? A 'demonstrated' fact is it ??
By all means please list the demonstration you reference... I'm not aware of an actual demonstration.

Especially with all the non-maximum things that are part of the current real world .. all of which would have to be removed to actually reach this 'demonstration' you claim :
#1> no meat eating humans... not even one
#2> no un-utilized space .. not even 1 square mm.
#3> not 1 extra joule per person than the minimum required to survive.
etc ... etc...

There is not such demonstration .. like it or not .. it is an assumption.

- - - - -

And before those doom and gloom lovers mis-read that or try and twist it ... I do not want that either ... nor am I claiming that to reach planetary max possible .. that is NOT what I want in any way shape or form.
