I suspect "enlightenment" is that the inverse is also true, but I think that this concept, as most are, is not reversible. In the animal kingdom, invasive species are often a detriment to the local species. In the human world, incoming cultures are often a detriment/disruption to local cultures. This is especially true when the incoming culture has an incompatible value system. For example, see the many examples of Islam and Christianity decimating/erasing local cultures, over the centuries. The value system can be so out of whack that you end up with genocide of the native populations, like in Canada, USA, and Australia. The tricky part is that the very perception of "disruption" depends on if a culture is valued or not, with many modern cultures have little/no accepted value. Related, this is why religious cultures are the most disruptive: religion is culture that's strictly defined in a personal way, with high personal value, so high rigigity. Rigid things don't mesh well.
