Was getting ready this morning and the ending of MGS2 came to mind.
It states that GW was the only AI destroyed, and that the S3 Plan’s real purpose is to control human thought to prevent society’s regression in the digital era from trivial information drowning knowledge and truth in the belief that humanity is too immature to handle the flow of information responsibly
Though the villains in MGS2 seemed to have better intentions than the nation states / trolls that are flooding the internet today.
You should listen to Senator Armstrong’s speech from Rising and ask yourself if he’d get votes in today’s political landscape.
I think he’d have a noticeable percentage of the voting base of America.
Standing here
I realise
You’re just like me
Trying to make history
But who’s to judge
The right from wrong
When our guard is down I think we’d both agree
That violence breeds violence
But in the end
It has to be this way
Raiden is 100% wrong about Armstrong approaching any of that situation in good faith. But it’s a great song and Raiden became cooler when he accepted that he’s allowed to do “bad” things to bad people.
