Somewhere between "not a chance" and "the odds are against it."

When people see hard times a-coming, existing divisions deepen, memes
to demonize others spread and eventually people make the future look
brighter by reducing the population, especially those "others."

It is switched on psychological mechanisms that were honed to a fine
edge in the stone age.

If you want to keep them switched off, the only way I can see to do it
is to grow the population slower than the economy grows.

It is as mechanical as a dam washing out.
