i agree somehow.

my point is that English as a language will be a mere necessary communication tool instead of a cultural embodiment, people doing biz with foreign countries need to speak in such occasions but they prefer not to in their private lives.

English being dominating the world is definitely the outcome of US/UK imposing western value system to the whole world and more importantly people buy in because they benefit from it. Now it is changing. UK is falling, US is falling. In a sense it goes to a decentralized mode when no single national language dominates instead of AI a neutral thing, which is good.
