I suspect that natural selection has already worked its magic.
The current ā€œmixā€ has given ā€œusā€ a society that is cohesive enough that we now are 8B strong.
In spite of Malthus et al and ā€œcarrying capacityā€ followers, I’m not seeing anything that makes me believe that human population growth is slowing.

Or that my ā€œchosenā€ will indeed be favored by natural selection/evolution.

The global population growth rate peaked over half a century ago (early 1960s at a rate of 2.2%) and is now about 1% per year, continuing to slow.
