I like the evolutionary analogy. I agree that the global nature of internet communication will most probably lead to a homogenization effect. Truly distinct cultures will soften over time. The lack of diversity would reduce the output, but by how much? I see it as a second term in the equation we're (informally) discussing. A negating factor to be sure, but I think the net result will still be in the positive direction.
