came across the concept of maintaining population under 500mn in the most unexpected place recently and it reminded me of the guide stones. theres a valid argument to be had about there being too many people on the planet, but if that was the end goal its the people in power that would decide how, when, and why to cull the herd.

>"It will be two times a thousand years before the time comes when my teachings will be preached anew, without being falsified. This will occur when false doctrines and erroneous cults, when lies and fraud, and when deception by the conjurers of the dead and of spirits, by the soothsayers and clairvoyants, as well as by all the charlatans of the truth, will be at their peak.
