There is no way to know if ‘more people’ is better, without a thorough objective examination of each of those people and their individual impact - except they don’t yet exist. Believing you can predict a future depending on billions of impactful yet entirely unknown variables is nonsense for shallow ‘pragmatic’ thinkers, not deep objective thinkers.
