> Simply having more people doesn’t make the world better
That's literally what the original post says, that we should have more children alive (by less of them dying). I tried explaining how trying to have less children die will make us have fewer (alive) children as a whole.
I have also not mentioned anything about utilitarianism, I was following Max Roser's logic on this (I personally find that a Northern guy like Roser writing about what Africa should do about its children is pretty colonialist, but that's not relevant to this post).
