I don't know about the comics, but there is real life result from having better education curtailing overpopulation. The Earth's population as we speak is expected to plateau, as the rest of the developing countries are catching up economically and becoming better educated. I don't see why the galactic population can't be the same.

It can't be the same because Thanos needs it to not be the same. Thanos is still trying to win an argument with a dead planet. It's not about the truth, it's not about helping people. It's about winning an argument. That is Thanos' entire motivation. He wants to be right and he wants everyone who disagreed with him to be wrong.

Except that we are going to get fucked globally when developing countries become richer and have better standard of living while producing a shit-ton more waste and fucking climate even more.

Only if every developing country becomes like America.
