I believe you! But intent doesn't express yourself, and often gets more obscure the shorter/more generic a comment is.
When it comes to moderation, we have to go by effects, not intent. Specifically, we have to by "effects in the general statistical case", if that makes sense.
For the other inhabitants of the world, certainly, but by what metric has it been a disaster for the human race? There are potential serious issues in the making, but as of yet we are largely living longer and with lower rates of malnutrition and starvation than any time before us.
To keep growing (both in quantity but also in health and life outcomes) we will need to find a new balance. We weren't necessarily in balance of any sort before then, either. Everything changes, and we will keep changing with the times.
