Going forward, now that I've thought about this episode, and just seeing this whole story as a huge allegory, Gen is likening the population of a psycho-pass controlled country to the "hyper-oats"

basically, that a completely homogenous, closed off society, puts it self at great danger as it becomes unable to deal with any outside disease/virus/problems that will eventually find its way to that closed system. It's pretty much the worst case scenario of a society that deviates from the "Red Queen" (look that up if you don't know what I'm talking about)

Pretty cool stuff. Looks like Gen is not just poking at Japan's xenophobia, but at other countries' as well (i.e. north Korea, burma, etc etc. . .)
