Not only am I not going to live long enough to see any net negative effect of it again I will more than likely not live long enough to see an overall decline in the world population. Also, a decline in the world population is going to be an overall net benefit for the planet as a whole it's going to lead to less pollution and nature reclaiming abandoned living spaces and better living conditions for non-human living on this planet.

I already said what the main reason the world population is still currently growing is and that it's about how future generations will be impacted by it but alright. For the other part the population stabilizing and the world getting more eco-friendly and whatnot would be far preferable I'd say but sure the population declining will have beneficial side effects. I personally prioritize humanity's well being over that.

Well, I live in Texas, and I am surrounded by assholes both the right wing, rich, conservative and religious kind, so I care more for non-humans than most the people that live near me.  Anyway, the Black Death was the only event in human history that actually caused a massive decline in human population, but it led to more positive effects than negative effects since it made farming more productive and helped spark the Renaissance.
