    Actually about 7% of those that have tried it are still alive and well! 😀 (Our current global population represents about 7% of all humans that have ever lived)

        if we never get to expand beyond earth or are exterminated then yes but without any of those limiting factors the percentage would probably stay the same because exponential growth

          Nah even without extraterrestrial expansion or extermination the % will decrease. Space and resources are limited and populations that don’t adapt reproduction numbers to the limitations of the system they live in won’t remain. Like a dying lake.

            Read my comment again. I said “without any limiting factors”. What you are describing are limiting factors.
