We could all live like super wealthy people if we lower the population, and have the same effect to the planet.

Do the powerful ever willingly cede power?
Can you cite some historical examples of this happening?

That's kinda why people never consolidated in the past and left vast cities untouched, they didn't want to give up their independence. Waste management was extremely bad for one, and the methane and processing plants made it stink more. People just decided they didn't want to be packed in and would rather roam freely and set up a house or camp wherever they wanted and live the life. Not possible now, just sit in your cube life and never do anything bc it makes too much carbon.

I don't think that true. Are you interested in an interesting documentary?
