Two Points That Are Very Important Points

One Of The Most Effective Ways To Learn About Oneself Is By Taking Seriously The Cultures Of Others. It Forces You To Pay Attention To Those Details Of Life Which Differentiate Them From You.

Culture Is Not Made Up But Something That Evolves Which Is Human.

I May Be Able To Spot Arrowheads On The Desert But A Refrigerator Is A Jungle In Which I Am Easily Lost.

The Reason Man Does Not Experience His True Cultural Self Is That Until He Experiences Another Self As Valid He Has Little Basis For Validating His Own Self.

. . . How Man Evolved With Such An Incredible Reservoir Of Talent And Such Fantastic Diversity Isn't Completely Understood . . . He Knows So Little And Has Nothing To Measure Himself Against.
