If you start to do some research on what sort of population we could sustain with hydroponic farming and nuclear energy you'll find over population is not much to fear.
Our ability to build tall structures would allow trillions to live in about 1% of the earth's landmass.
When you start doing basic math fear of the future vaporizes.

I brought up farming not because of any perceived food shortages, your absolutely right that technology keeps making strides in crop yields. My point on farming was that it currently uses a lot of labor. That will change as technology advances.
To bring it back, that’s my concern about the future. What will people do when those who can’t or won’t help themselves have no source of income?
