Listening to more of Alan Watts' speeches lead me to this beauty:

"Trying to understand the world purely by thinking about it is as clumsy a process as trying to drink the Pacific Ocean out of a pint beer mug - You can only take it one mug at a time."

Well... I'd certainly go with a weaker form of that argument - 'You don't know the all basic assumptions of your culture if your culture is the only culture you know

Amen, we have our own culture and I'm going to sample Japan's culture in 2 weeks. I think I'll be able to appreciate ours more afterward.
