On Culture

"Culture is dictatorial unless understood and examined. It is not that humans must be in sync with or adapt to culture, but that culture grows out of sync with us. When this happens, people go crazy and they don't know it. In order to avoid mass insanity, people must learn to transcend and adopt their culture to the times and to their biological organisms. To accomplish this task, since introspection tells you nothing, we need experience of other cultures; i.e., to survive, all cultures need each other" - Edward Hall, Beyond Culture, 1976
