I say yes because not only do we as humans have needs, but as a very social civilization we have wants. It's all well and good to say we don't need all the things we can't have, but its human nature to want. We can't just decide to neglect that. One group I know of that gave up all wants is the Tibetan Monks, but the drastic change they made to live that lifestyle one can not say is natural. Surely they still have desire, and there's nothing wrong with that. Desire causes people to work harder at things, creating, not only things we take for granted, but things we now need such as medical machines. Not only do things get made due to desire, but the act of desiring in and of it's self has positive effects on people. A person who wants, then gets what they wanted has chemicals released in their brain stimulating joy. A life with no joy is not really a life worth living now is it? So in conclusion we are overpopulated not because of our needs but because our very natural wants, that with such a high population, can't be fulfilled even if the wants weren't infinite.

"The world has enough resources for everyones need, but never for someones greed" -Anonymous The world was never overpopulated. In fact, our population is so small we can all live in a single American State. We only forgot the art of humble living and selfless giving. No really, what makes you think you do not have enough? Are you really just preparing for the future, or you just do not realize that you are just being greedy? Poor people are happier than billionaires, go figure. Side: there isnt enough people
Seriously, go to antarctica or like amazon rainforest and other tropical regions/islands, there is so much of the world still left holy and untouched. May Satan and civilisation reign more and more until, finally, it is true to admit that the world is overpopulated. Side: there isnt enough people
