This is a very poor comparison. Bacteria do not behave like this, resource scarcity and toxic byproduct buildup would inhibit growth way before the system is "full".

Given that human population dynamics do not follow bacterial growth curves (even over-simplistically modeled bacterial growth curves) I fail to see what your point is, other than to brag about your knowledge of exponential functions.

A better way of approaching this question is to look at the current human population growth rates (falling since the 1960s) and try and understand what determines the rate at which humans reproduce. Education of women frequently comes out as the highest correlated factor in studies looking at this. Therefore, if we're truly concerned about overpopulation increased funding to educate more of the world's population is one of the best single things we can do. Add in the economic and societal benefits of increased education and you have a winner.

Maths may not be racist, but discussions of human populations are rarely focused on the mathematics.
