I do not think that we should praise differences in cultures over mutual understanding of each other.
It just causes more of a gulf between us. People fear what they don't understand. It causes wars, like the one we have now.
Also let's say that guy lives in a low-tech country. Maybe he's a candlemaker (hypothetically). Now, isn't he more useful to society working in a factory or in an office? Sure, it's cool and all that he wastes his time on something that can be mass-produced, but he's not being as useful as he should be.
In the end though, if the guy in this picture is not familiar with my cultural values, in what way is this actually a good thing?
[note: i'm being forced to be up before the freakin' rooster has crowed, and i'm not exactly a morning person. <g> So I hope my tone isn't too bad... I love all you guys! ]
