A unifed global language is one of the characteristics of a type 1 civilization and right now English happens to be in a position to become that language. But whether or not English is the optimal option is a whole different can of worms. Since language and culture are so intertwined, the idea of the cultures, beliefs, and "mindsets" of entire groups of people being slowly erased, dominated, and assimilated by the anglosphere mind is a concerning long term problem. You lose out on potentially beautiful things only people of that culture and "mind" are capable of creating/conceiving or nurturing. Also America's dominance of cultural exports is insane.
I disagree. When i organised an international deaf week. It was very hard because i couldn't speak with people from different countries in international sign language.
So if it doesn't exist, people will either create a new one or use the dominant one. As for the culture, it depends.
