I don't think something like this can arise from Globalisation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQAmZ_kR8S8

Good side effect of that is strong culture. It doesn't get diluted by diversity.

I can only imagine what it would have been like to travel to another country many decades ago before globalization and travel. Here is Tokyo 100 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQAmZ_kR8S8

The simplest of things - a tunic or a shirt is commoditized by the entire globe. Everyone on the whole globe just wears a shirt/pants. Each nation had their own attire and it was just normal to wear skirts in Scotland and suits in England, and kimonos in Japan. This was erased by globalism and diversity. It may be that shirt/pant combo is actually superior attire due to some particular measurable quantity, but I suspect it was because of English imperialism.

Yeah, CCP is kinda working on that whole eliminating cultural diversity thing as we speak

I was thinking more on the lighter side - huge fan of Civilization, the game! Cultures are cool.

Somewhat related, there have been some impressive ML-powered video remasterings recently (colorized and upscaled to 4K at 60 fps):

The New York 1911 is amazingly well done.
