Any information exchange erodes culture. Movies, music, academia, anything.

But I think that’s a good thing. Other people feel differently and want to preserve small patches of “pure” cultures, but I think the world is better and richer when hugely diverse cultures are diffused widely.

I might agree with you in theory. In reality the American culture spreading across the globe is just sad to me. I don't want to get a Subway sandwich in the US, let alone Germany or Signapore...

Ideally we would want to spread the best parts of different cultures around the world, not indiscriminately everything from one specific culture. There are many things about US American culture that are great, others are not so great.
