I myself, living in double cultures, believe that the internet shall be utilized to flatten the world and broaden ones view, connect people you wouldn't otherwise be able to meet, though to many people, it is counter intuitive, esp. in a era that we are ruled by algorithms of social networks. Got to know you and your thoughts from TED, and fascinated by some insights you had. I am very interested in what you learned from the experiment "Global Voice", as you mentioned Global Voices is (in part) an experiment to see whether xenophilia can be cultivated without plane tickets. Thx Meng Hi Ethan Thanks for sharing your beliefs and insights.

Got to know you and your thoughts from TED, and fascinated by some insights you had. I am very interested in what you learned from the experiment “Global Voice”, as you mentioned Global Voices is (in part) an experiment to see whether xenophilia can be cultivated without plane tickets.
