From the Paper:

"The currently post-modern amalgamation of nations previously isolated, but now unified by the veins of modern express transport, entails a global society of different individual cultural strengths pooled together to create a single entity for the purposes of exploiting the maximum potential of human achievement. However, this event that has fortified the world's population with regard to economy and technology has unfortunately exposed mankind's greatest weakness, while it being, simultaneously, its greatest strength: the homogeneity of human biology.
