the state of overpopulation cannot be a permanent one, because the situation itself involves an imbalance that is inevitably "fixed" very quickly.

While you are correct about populations naturally leveling themselves out from extremes the problem with that is, as many people have said, humans do not have their spot in the balance of nature. When you put an excess of predators in an ecosystem you will see the numbers teeter back and forth then balance, but the problem with humans is that nature does not recover from us the way it does from having too many predators, or too many herbivores overeating. When humans reach the breaking point the earth is going to be damaged a lot more than it would be from any other animal. Other animals cannot lay concrete, pollute water and air, or clear cut entire stretches of forest like us.
