Is the answer right there in episode 1?

After the finale of season 2, I started re-watching the first season. It's surprising how many of the mysteries of season 2 were right there in the very first episode - the hard drive, the tunnel, the cleaning video, ... Somehow I thought I remembered these things being introduced gradually over the 1st season but nope, it's all right there in episode 1.

One thing that really stuck out to me is the conversation that Allison has with Holston Becker when she fails to get pregnant after a year of trying: "I can't tell you how I know this, but they were never gonna let us have children. We are not the type of person they want having kids. They want docile, obedient people".

I wonder if that episode 1 quote is linked in any way with what we see season 2 finale. At 13:00 in the episode, Lukas Kyle is still urgently trying to get up top to prevent something terrible from happening. By 19:00 in the episode he's saying it's too late now anyway and nothing matters anymore. The only thing that really happened in Silo 18 between "super urgent" and "too late" is the rebellion kicking off in a violent way.

My interpretation is that Allison was right on a different level than she realised - the attempt to breed docile, obedient people is not only happening by selecting individuals, but it's also happening at the whole silo society level. And the moment that the rebels started fighting, Lukas basically knows their silo has "lost" whatever competition is going on between silos and the AI will let them die one way or another.

The main thing I don't understand is why the AI would bother telling any of this to Lukas Kyle in the first place. Why not remain silent like it did with George? Why talk to Salvador Quinn, Judge Meadows and Lukas Kyle? How does telling anyone help? Maybe the algorithm sees when society is about to hit a tipping point and tries to use a few people to still keep everyone in check - but then again if the point is to look for docile, controllable genes then why influence the process at all?

Anyway, that's my take on it based on season 1 & 2 so far. I know it's not a new theory, just wanted to share that seeing s02e10 and s01e01 right after another makes for an interesting combo. No book spoilers, please.
