Haven't you ever heard of globalisation? Eventually there will be only one culture, and it ain't gonna be that of the third world people. |
it most certanly wont. there are lots of people on this planet who would rather give (and take) life than giving away their culture and accepting the other one.

Yes because when I speak of 20K years, couple in my sentences obviously refer to 2-3 years.... |
No when you speak of a couple of years in your first sentence I will take it literally as a couple of years.

the only reason I say it'll be mostly black/asian is because with the current populations as is, it would already be the case, but add into it the population growth and it'll just increase this trend... though Asia is probably going to loose some weight to middle east/india. It is a bleak vision... but I wouldn't say paranoid as i take it as a fatality, nothing can be done about it. (the only option would be a 180 degree on the cultural and moral path that our countries have taken in the past 200 years... not really a plausible option). |
200 years ago the year was 1810. Between then and now we saw further world wide European colonisation of much of the world, slavery, genocide of Indians, Napoloenic wars, WWI which left 16 million dead, WWII which left well over 60 million dead, the so called Cold War which nearly destroyed the planet and left millions dead, corporate globalisation which has left most private capital in the hands of the very, very few....surely a 180 degree turn would be a good thing???

what you depicted is the exact reason why the west european/north american culture will disapear in a couple of years...
The above are your words...how else do you expect me to interpret a couple of years other than as a couple of years?!

Yet eventually they'll go the way of the dinosaurs. A century ago nationalism and xenophobia were rampart in Europe. Now the cultural differences between European states are not significant. The same thing will happen to more primitive states once they become more developed and rich, and once they have better access to education and information. No human desires restrictive closed societies like those of third world countries, and people downright reject such societies in times of prosperity when they develop the understanding that they can have a better life.

Sure, Sure, nope, I believe it'll be closer to that of the third world people as they'll be the majority in the end. |
The West is powerfull and influential. The third world countries are not. And when they'll become more developed they'll imitate the West, due to the strong influence the West has over the whole world.

imitate, with their own flavor, then dominate, then absorb. This is my opinion. Our culture will be a heritage, same as the christmass tree which was from a payan feast and incorporated into the christmass one, we'll have bits of our culture left... but not the whole, not the main aspects of it.
Though we're talking about the future, so other than opinions, we can't really argument. Your points are valid, but I believe their influance will be minimal.
Thanks for the back and forth discution, it was interesting.
