$\begingroup$ Your answer has an incorrect assumption. It’s a society where killing is acceptable, not mandatory. Imagine if each set of parents had 200 children and they killed 190 of them. Those 190 children would never have killed anyone, because they died first! That society would still grow quickly enough to be a problem! $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @Azrantha That's not indiscriminate killing though, that's primarily killing children. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ true, it was an exaggerated example to show that it can work mathematically. As mathematically, with indiscriminate killing, many of the dead will have died without killing anyone! $\endgroup$
