Well if we could make everyone have a good quality of life and not destroy the environment and at the same time have more people to enjoy life and to help drive innovation and art, it would generally be for the better.

I don't think you comprehend exactly how large a number 7 billion actually is. There's plenty of innovation and art potential already.

Currently a good portion of those people are barely surviving and don't have bandwidth for art or effective innovation. But that's not really the point. If people are happy and have a good quality of life, and there's no negatives, then more is better because it's more happiness.
