Just a notion of mine I've had for a long while, not even a theory, but I think that some of us might have chosen to be born in this particular segment of time because it is so unusual and important in the history of Man.

Maybe some of us wanted to experience it for ourselves. Maybe some came with a mission. Maybe some were given a mission.

The elite will not succeed. They underestimate us in one key aspect. They don't believe humanity has a soul, which is to say they don't believe we can transcend the dictates of physical intimidation and control. Spoiler: We can, and we will.
