It seems inevitable that we're going to see a massively depopulated world in just a few generations.
Some people see that as bad, but a depopulated world historically has been the sort of era that provides booms in human rights and worker's rights and wages.
The black death and the period after WWII were both eras where the normal guy on the street was better off than the era before the mass death, because suddenly there's a lot less people and still lots of work to be done.
The line won't go up, so the mega-rich won't see their lot improve as much, but most people aren't mega-rich.

History says what it says. More people ultimately means life becomes cheap. Just like it is right now.
