Well unfortunately, a global population crash is already in the cards whether you want it to or not. Not that I do want it to. I just think that it would have been better to have never had the population boom and now crash that the industrial revolution precipitated. I’m not saying I want to undo it, because as you said, it would kill people. I’m saying it would have been better for those people to have never existed at all.
More on OPs topic, the industrial revolution HAS been a disaster for humans and the planet. Look at the world. We have destroyed the ecosystems the world over. In 20 years, everyone alive will see very clearly what the suffering you described as happening in the middle ages was like. But now we have 8 billion people to enjoy it. Progress.
