We're trying to stop that from happening.

It's our responsibility as rulers. Just as in genetics, unnecessary information and memory must be filtered out to stimulate the evolution of the species.

Who else could wade through the sea of garbage you people produce, retrieve valuable truths and even interpret their meaning for later generations?

That's what it means to create context.

I'll decide for myself what to believe and what to pass on!

But is that even your own idea?

Or something Snake told you?

That's the proof of your incompetence, right there. You lack the qualifications to exercise free will.

Does something like a "self" exist inside of you?

That which you call "self" serves as nothing more than a mask to cover your own being.

In this era of ready-made 'truths', "self" is just something used to preserve those positive emotions that you occasionally feel...

Another possibility is that "self" is a concept you conveniently borrowed under the logic that it would endow you with some sense of strength...Would you prefer that someone else tell you? Alright then. Explain it to him.

Rose : Jack, you're simply the best! And you got there all by yourself!

Oh, what happened? Do you feel lost? Why not try a bit of soul-searching?

Don't think you'll find anything, though...

Ironic that although "self" is something that you yourself fashioned, every time something goes wrong, you turn around and place the blame on something else.

Rose : "It's not my fault. It's not your fault."

In denial, you simply resort to looking for another, more convenient "truth" in order to make yourself feel better.

Leaving behind in an instant the so-called "truth" you once embraced.

Should someone like that be able to decide what is "truth"?

Should someone like you even have the right to decide? You've done nothing but abuse your freedom.

You don't deserve to be free!

We're not the ones smothering the world. You are.

The individual is supposed to be weak. But far from powerless -- a single person has the potential to ruin the world.

And the age of digitized communication has given even more power to the individual. Too much power for an immature species.

Building a legacy involves figuring out what is wanted, and what needs to be done for that goal. All this, you used to struggle with. Now, we think for you.

We are your guardians after all.

Anything can be quantified nowadays. That's what this exercise was designed to prove.

You fell in love with me just as you were meant to, after all. Isn't that right, Jack?

Ocelot was not told the whole truth, to say the least.

We rule an entire nation -- of what interest would a single soldier, no matter how able, be to us?

The S3 Plan does not stand for Solid Snake Simulation. What it does stand for is Selection for Societal Sanity...
