You’re forgetting another portion of the calculation: amount of resources, and resource generation rate.
Take food for example. We have, and create, far more food than is needed. If that rate continues, we can theoretically keep pumping out people until the birth rates and food generation rates converge.
The actual problem, as it stands currently, is not the amount of resources, or how quickly we can create them: the problem is how they are distributed.

Food, water, shelter, safety. Those are the basic needs. I didn’t forget. But yes, distribution is the main cause of food scarcity.
On a reread, I realise distribution is a part of “availability”, so i may have misinterpreted earlier. Sorry.
