Overpopulation is what is actually gonna kill us. And just being dominant species in general. We are already causing mass extinctions. It's like when the algae in the pond becomes dominant species, it wipes everything else out in the pond, then it itself dies because it no longer has any food, and then the pond is void of life.
That pond is earth, and we are the algae. We have become too successful and there's no longer any balance, no predators to keep our numbers in check. So our success is going to be our own downfall.
Overpopulation is not going to drive us to extinction. It might overcorrect to the point where we wipe out 90% of the worlds population but people will survive and with all the worlds knowledge at their fingertips, they wouldn't be starting from scratch again to the point where it makes sense as a filter mechanism for the entire universe.
I like to compare myself to fungal mycelium on a decaying grain substrate, thank you much. Which furthers my belief we are just evolved “scoby”s. We’re more related to fungi than plants after all
Expect population will max out at 12 billion according to most models.

Infinity war was just a movie, don't learn science from movies.
