You are correct. Demographers has shown that the higher industralized nations have low population problems (complete opposit of the third World). People having kids later in life and fewer of them (espcially middle income earners). This been studied for decades now. The likely scenario would be most people wouldnt want kids (screaming kids at the back seat of the family car is not the scenario most people would want to be in. Not to mention be stuck with them for centuries.).

The idea that defeating aging will cause the population to go crazy is overblown.

The reason being is they often do not include any of the variables. Poverty is the agent which causes the population to go crazy, not longer life expectancy.

If living longer were the primary culprit for population growth, most of the growth would happen in developed nations where life expectancy average 75-83. But that is not what we see, population growth happens primarily in the 3d world nations.

When using the argument of Overpopulation, it is important that you include all the variables, and standards of living increase, people live longer, birth rates will continue to decline. When aging is defeated, a lot probably most will choose to have children later in life. It is also important to realize that the technology today we use will not be the same 50 years from now. We can and will improve our method of farming, energy usage. Vertical Farming, Renewables and fusion energy for example

I love that he's working so hard so that everyone else can have more time to procastinate.

@fruitylalaland16 However, I must add, that one wonderfully positive thing can could potentially come out of this; the end of religion.

This is not humanity's hugest problem. As interesting and intelligent I find Aubrey, I have to disagree with his statement there. Yes, old people are people too, but the world is already overpopulated as is, and if we cure aging, then we will all surely die in a much worse way than aging.
