I have doubts about world population figures. Regions within Nigeria have incentives to inflate their numbers so that they get more seats in government. It's also seen as bad to have population declines, so governments over-report their population. Particularly with respect to central banks, they want to over-report the population because they want their per-capita printing to not look as bad.

Maybe we're already down to 6.5B or so. I'm not sure how you can verify such a big number like 8B.

Now measure the productivity of all those people with a made up number like GDP.

Agreed. GDP is a totally fake number. A bunch of guys mining BTC are measure the same as government paying people to dig holes and fill them again so long as the fiat amount of each is the same.
