This reminds me of the book “Outliers” by Malcolm Gladwell and the concept of “The Matthew Effect” the idea that small advantages can snowball into larger ones over time. Era and location of birth is critical 

Time (era) & location (of birth) 
is like 90% of your destiny

thus is the test of a true global society; if we were globalist as an entire species it wouldn't be 90% of our destiny but more like 10-20% right?

The future has arrived, it’s just unevenly distributed 🥲

For that, I assume “true global society” would require a single, borderless world government with fair local representation, no pockets of corruption nor public or private market distortion, no within-group distinction of ethnicity / religion / nationality (the latter being completely abolished), a common native tongue, & actively enforced equal socioeconomic development everywhere (i.e. subsidies where needed to maintain equity); so that access to education, healthcare, and job opportunities was leveled out.

Under that very narrow definition (the utopian nature of it notwithstanding), yes, I imagine the space aspect of the cosmic lottery (where you are born) would become of minor relevance

The “time” (era) aspect would remain, of course, as life opportunities differ across generations / stages of mankind development

Interesting thought experiment for sure. There is a niche cosmopolitan tribe of global citizens today whose professional mobility gives them opportunities beyond their place of origin

you can’t live everywhere as much as society gets global
