Resources aren't evenly distributed naturally, some area may not have enough resources.
It takes more resources to get more resources, we may be measuring 30% of total resources, but not 30% of resource capacity.
I'm fine with population control, but it should be implemented willingly at an individual level, and pushed via education and community acceptance. I catch a small amount of flak for not having kids, but wife catches a lot more.
Not sure what you're trying to say, but the paper assumes current population trends and means 30% of currently available resources in 2025 would be enough to give everyone a decent living standard (DLS) in 2050. We have everything we need to do this right now.

How do we know who to give food to of people aren't competing against each other to hoard as much wealth as they can?
Earlobe to bellybutton depth ratio. If the number is odd, you get tacos. If it's even, you get tacos. Other options also available.

Multiple things can be true at once.
I think that humanity only optimized for quantity of life, not quality of life in the last 200 years. That doesn't really make sense. All of our needs can be fulfilled with 30% of the current workforce.
