It is easy to throw a grenade and then walk away.

However, it does not explain why a Korean sees a dog as yummy and an American is revolted by the concept.

The concept of one singular human thought process has been around for ages.It is simplistic to lump biological and
hard wired human characteristics such as Greed,Lust,Pride, Envy,Anger,and Sloth (often refered to as the seven deadly sins)as shared thinking.

There is a need to seperate Human Instincts from thinking.
To think is to do(old adage). While we may all share these instincts( and behave in response to them) we do not all do similarly, hence we do not all think similarly.

Frankly I don't see a requirement for uniformity or complete accuracy in human understanding, in order to say that the processes of humans at large are human processes and may be described as such. Also, the relationship between truth to humans is always that of infallible master to fallible student. Here is how A.W. Tozer explained that:

Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same fork are automatically tuned to each other? They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must individually bow. So one hundred worshipers [meeting] together, each one looking away to Christ, are in heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be, were they to become 'unity' conscious and turn their eyes away from God to strive for closer fellowship.

But have we all acceded at least that human thought is not the stuff of language? If so, I do also suggest a stroll through this: (on what science and the study of God are each suitable for).
