At the risk of sounding pedantic:
If the statement "culture is built around the game of a meaningful search for eternal truths, timeless values and changeless habits of prowess" is incoherent, how are you able to give a definitive, confident reply?
To paraphrase Wittgenstein, something incoherent can't be either true or false. Personally, I find both of your perspectives on what culture is built around to be interesting but vague.

I think my truth is superior because, Its based on observed reality, eg: cultural taboo's against incest Has practical applications in the form Evolutionary psychology. Is internally consistent. Most importantly doesn't take grim view of culture as something that we are slaves to, something that can chew us and spit us out after it has no use for us, something separate from me. The stance that author seems to have taken. 1 - blanking on where I got that from.
