Thats true,but he also had this as apart of his definition.
"Someone capable of speaking to anyone from anywhere about anything on a deep and meaningful level."
So you also need a certain aura of sophistication or charm that allows you to be a chameleon.

From Chat GPT:
There can be an ethnocentric connotation to the idea of being “cultured,” although it largely depends on the context and how the term is used. Ethnocentrism refers to judging another culture based on the standards and values of one’s own, often leading to the belief that one’s own culture is superior. Here’s how this can relate to the concept of being “cultured”:
1. Historical Ethnocentrism in the Concept of Being “Cultured”
Historically, the idea of being “cultured” has often been linked to specific, predominantly Western standards of refinement, education, and sophistication. For example, during the European Enlightenment and throughout much of the 19th and early 20th centuries, being “cultured” was closely associated with knowledge of classical European art, music, literature, and philosophy. This often implied that the cultures, traditions, and intellectual achievements of non-Western societies were inferior or irrelevant to the definition of being “cultured.”
• Colonial and Imperial Eras: European colonial powers, for instance, saw their own customs, intellectual pursuits, and artistic tastes as the pinnacle of civilization. To be “cultured” during this time often meant aligning oneself with European ideals and rejecting or looking down upon non-European cultures. Indigenous cultures and traditions were often dismissed as “primitive” or “uncivilized.”

I didn't mean to verge!
If you don't smell like ass, if you don't watch videos of other men talking about nothing in their car, and if you can hold a conversation about something interesting, you're cultured in 2024
