Any extrapolation should be taken with a grain of salt.

Overpopulation is a temporary thing - as we get smarter we can support more people with the same resources, and we're about to get a lot smarter about it. Also, birth rates are below replacement levels in almost all the Western world. And once we colonize the asteroid belt, we can build habitats with space equivalent to a few million earths. My worry is the damage that the current population will do before we get smart enough to live sustainably.

We can say that the 20th century is an anomaly.
The previous century saw a gigantic increase in population.
Of course, this is due, among other things, to the development of medicine and agriculture.

Maybe we are simply witnessing a correction.
The problem is that our economy is adapted to the current population size.
I don't think automation will solve this problem anytime soon.
