We probably can't have one of those now though. Any big war these days would be very polluting and would cut down the fertility of the Earth more than it would cut human population, making things overall more out of balance than they were at the start.

Family planning is also paradoxical, natural selection opposes it by definition, so the following generations will give the practice up. Famine or disease is probably what will get us.
