  1. The current paradigm of connecting the world is extractive. It harnesses diversity while hampering conditions for it's growth. A cynic would suspect that all this celebration of diversity is only the lube that allows cultures to merge into one.

  2. @Ron Sedlak  The paradox I try to highlight is that, while openness and connectedness leads to exposure of individuals to a greater diversity of cultures (as you experience), it also effectively reduces cultural diversity in the world as a whole. Cultures diverge in separation and converge in contact. We are taught to be accepting of other cultures while cultures are merging, but the merging in itself sets the world on trajectory towards a narrow monoculture. I am more worried about the latter.
