If you follow the top scientists you would know that genetically we have hardly changed much in evolutionary terms in the past thousands of years yet our societies and our ways of life are completely transformed. The primary reason theorized for this is that we have moved from biological evolution to a far faster cultural evolution. However, if cultural evolution is real then it would imply that some cultures are more likely to survive and thrive long term than others, or possibly that multiple cultures compete with each other in a healthy stable ecosystem.
I am personally a believer of the former scenario, a culture completely dominates a region then splits off into multiple branches of that similar culture which again fight to form the most perfect variation which again splits off into multiple even more similar threads compared to the past threads.
Currently the way I see it Japanese culture is going to die out over time. It's too isolationist with a dying out population.
Other than that western culture is the most widespread and the one that is dispersing the fastest around the world even today. Chinese culture is limited to the mainland. European cultural norms are limited to Europe, Indian ones to India. However even Islamic cultures of the middle east are starting to become more westernized in sentiment.
So do you think western culture would spread all the way till the border of Russia in the East, and all the way to the bottom of Argentina in the South, then break off into 2-3 pieces? Or do you figure that the current cultural lines are pretty much set or that the Eastern world is suddenly going to figure out cultural expansion and win?
What in your individual opinion is the most successful cultural tradition for the future in terms of cultural evolution and future thriving?
I think it would be either conservative western with some tweaks over time or Indian culture which is harmless to the point of easy spread with very high populations all over the globe.

The American culture wars hogwash is being exported to many countries world wide. The United Kingdom has already fallen victim to this, I am assuming all other western (white) nations are soon to completely adopt this nonsense.
Not only this but this liberal vs conservative discourse from the USA also invaded my country where everyone I don't like is a Nazi is extremely prevalent now in both sides of the political spectrum.
The rise of right-wing nationalism is undeniable across very many countries right now, I believe this is entirely the doing of the progressives and ultra-liberals. A good analogy is depicted below

Why would ours die first? Our population is still rising and we are culturally unique enough to stay that way.

It's not about who dies first, it's about who dies period. And your population may be rising now, but that won't last forever. Sooner or later your culture will disappear, just like all the others have.

Again, we are a billion plus people, and unlike China we didn't sterilize ourselves to an early grave. EU has a lower fertility rate and also sucks at taking in immigrants to the levels required. Only the US itself is comparatively stable enough to keep growing even if the people are all outsiders because they are less a specific people and more a mindset. They have practically separated the two.

It primarily depends on birthrates. Parasitic cultures that Jews use to replace white Europeans (such as Catholic Mexican cultures and Muslim cultures) are primarily based on breeding so it is likely that they will overtake while being converted to some Jewish version of themselves. Ultimately all cultures will be replaced by some Jewish mix that is designed to regulate a subservient 90 IQ populace. The main idea is to have a lower class whose purpose is to serve Jewish interests.

Cultural dominance is downstream from military and economic dominance so China doesnt have to "figure out" anything. They either win the economic war and everyone learns Chinglish, or they lose and stay irrelevant.

That's a very good point. People follow the cultural values that improve their quality of life the most.
So do you think China will economically dominate? I think it is genuinely a viable possibility.

Its possible, but half the country is still a total shithole and cracks are starting to show between the CCP and formerly-dominated billionaire class. They have a lot of expenditures and limited force projection. I think it mostly depends on whether Murrica accidentally its whole empire or not

True true. However China is currently the only high economic growth and size country that is still clearly in the positive when it comes to economic output.

Culture is an expression of both historical, contingent, circumstance and genes. American Blacks are westernized but their culture is very different from that of American whites. Even if 'western' culture spreads around the globe it will inevitably mutate into something unrecognizable to its ancestor.

Okay so
The samurai were officially abolished as a caste in Japanese society during the Meiji Restoration in 1867
The first ever fax machine, the "printing telegraph", was invented in 1843
And Abraham Lincoln was famously assassinated at Ford's Theatre in 1865
Which means
There was a 22 year window in which a samurai could have sent a fax to Abraham Lincoln
