As soon as you acknowledge
ones like these, goal post shifter, I'll consider your apples to oranges metric:
Without fossil fuels, the world’s population would be about 1 Billion today, instead of its current 6.8 Billion.
The emergence of coal as an energy source eliminated the carrying capacity limits to population growth that any traditional and biomass energy based culture would eventually face. Similarly, the predominance of oil after the middle part of the twentieth century raised the carrying capacity even further.

Mocked by a forum full of soft science finance zealots who almost to a man, reject the role of physical science in the economy and have zero regard for the planet's natural limits? LOL... The joke isn't on me, genius.

No, here's what's foolish:
People like you pretending the economy could be 1/1000th what it is today without abundant fossil fuels.
