For homefull people, the effect might work both ways. As the matrix of
cultures become stronger with the fibers of homefull people, the
fibers of homefull people become stronger by the matrix of cultures.
At least that's how it works for me. Diversity of cultures is a
necessary nourishment. I can't imagine any more living without it.
