The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Timaeus by Plato: SOCRATES: And you remember how we said that the children of the good
parents were to be educated, and the children of the bad secretly dispersed
among the inferior citizens; and while they were all growing up the rulers
were to be on the look-out, and to bring up from below in their turn those
who were worthy, and those among themselves who were unworthy were to take
the places of those who came up?
TIMAEUS: True.
SOCRATES: Then have I now given you all the heads of our yesterday's
discussion? Or is there anything more, my dear Timaeus, which has been
omitted?
TIMAEUS: Nothing, Socrates; it was just as you have said.
