The point of cosmopolitanism is that two cultures do not have to be compatible because the individual with a cosmopolitan outlook tolerates and respects cultural differences. People that have a cosmopolitan outlook, from any culture, can be compatible with any other culture. That's the point of it.

Really, I think the only truly non-compatible culture I can think of is that of the Sentinalese Islanders. They are among the last remaining completely uncontacted cultural groups on earth and live as they have for 60,000 years, a time when Africans were first making their way over a land bridge to Australia.
And that is simply because they do not want anything to do with us. We try to contact them all of the time and they rebuff the advances with a hail of arrows!
It's awesome.
