"I'm sure most can agree that different people see different things differently.
How does that mean that a telescope should not be built??"
it doesn't. apparently there are those among the more recent arrivals to Hawaii from places much less diverse who might naively blow out of proportion the variety and mix of ancestral backgrounds among the people of Hawaii to imaginatively consider that we just can't understand each other on some fundamental psychological level here in our community. where are these isolated and exotic per-industrialized societies of Hawaii 2015 being raised in such an alien environment from the rest of us in the islands?
as someone among extended and immediate family members more or less representative of the typical assortment of "very different cultural backgrounds" in Hawaii, and even a member or two actually raised in a "non-western culture", i can tell you this idea that we just can't understand each other on par with what ironyak seems to be suggesting is quite a stretch, to put it mildly.
