No he wasn’t, his idea was shit.

Halving something means that, at 7% growth per year, you’re right back where you were in 10 years. Traumatic events usually make people multiply like bunnies for a while so yeah… Even in the best case scenario, he’d murder trillions of people, traumatize the rest, and all that to buy “the universe” what, 10, 20, maybe 30 years.

Instead he could go out and teach everyone how to become responsible. Slowly have less babies until, you know, the world evens out in a good number. Earth can be quite nice and stable with, say, 5 billion people, and then you make sure that in average, just as many people are born as they die. Use taxes and other things to control that. Nobody needs to suffer or be bloody murdered or winked out of existence, no dictatorship necessary, just nice teaching.
