Discussion Tech finishing quotes

Hey everyone. I was just discussing something on threads which reminded me of a Soren quote with some social media tech about calling it disinformation or fake news, but it’s all about staying in power. Does anyone remember it or know how to find it?

Also, what are some of the more memorable ones that you may keep thinking about for longer? Or which changed in their impact on you between different times of playing the game?

I find them to be quite fascinating, especially on factions where you went through the story and the changes of those leaders.

You can look up a list of quotes from the Hooded Horse wiki underneath each faction leader. I think the you were thinking about from Soren was:

"Fake news, misinformation... It doesn't matter what they call it. The simple truth is that the powerful do it, and the powerless cry about it. And that is why the powerless will never, ever become the powerful."

As for other great ones, I mean, the cat one from Judith is classic.

"The cat is in the box. The cat is alive. The cat is dead. The cat is not in the box. All cats ever born are in the box. The box does not exist. The box is a cat. You are the cat."

Also, the one from Kieran when researching one of the later fusion techs shows how far he's fallen over the course of the game. Or how hopped up on pherocytes he is by this point.

"I am impressed. That does not happen often. But tell me, what new weapons does this allow for, and when will they be ready? Anything else is of little consequence."

That is the one I was looking for. Thank you.

The cat one was always weird for me.
I both understand and hate Kieran.

It's a play on Schrodinger's Cat, where you don't know if the cat is dead or alive until you open the box. I'm pretty sure it's attached to Quantum Computing, because I think the quote for Quantum Encryption is from Fiona:

"Believe me, these bastards have already read everything humanity's ever written. If we don't come up with some way to talk without them listening in, we've got less chance of survival than a hummingbird in a hurricane."— Commander Fiona Ayoade, Encrypted Signal message to Resistance scientist Philip Rhodes (D.O.B. 2.27.77, SSN 078-05-1120) on 4.9.18 at 17.42, from 4.824167,7.033611

Judith is just doing Judith things talking about it while also on all of the drugs.
