What we are exposed to generally contibutes to the ways we think about the subjects and can alter our worldviews. I don't think either that it means being open to new ideas has always bad consequences, but rather the amount we're willing to digest certainly has to do with something, so to say. I don't mind if people 50 years from now will converge to a more connected and similarly-structured societies. I'm just curious about how minor things could change somethings on earth, in this case, I'm worried about uniqueness.
