I'm talking about the underlying issue of an entire culture intentionally limiting their own growth and learning, as a whole, and what that means in the big picture- as it relates to denying our very nature of adapting to change, and learning.

I think you are making an assumption that cultural growth and societal learning are somehow the whole point of human existence.
So, if one buys into your unsubstantiated thinking on the neccessity for cultures to evolve to use cars and computers, you may be right. But since the premise you put forth is pretty shaky to begin with, I don't know how many people will agree with you.
