> I mean, it's basically inevitable, isn't it? Cultural heterogeneity is born out of isolation.

When thinking about this cynically, I feel like this has some depressing ramifications. Cultural differences (and isolation) are often born from financial disparities as well. Does this mean that the path to global cultural homogeneity is basically just gentrification on a massive scale where economic -> cultural minorities get more and more ostracized?

Trickle down globalism. I think you're onto something.
