hey, numen is a latin word not greek, edit: derp i was listening it so i heard it as numen not pneuma
You've both done amazing with this
I disagree with his assessment a bit. He says that because the entity causes people to feel pain, it also causes other bad effects, which leads to him concluding the entity is malicious. But from what we see of the foundation post-"cure", they seem to lack general care or emotion, so I don't feel its a leap in logic to say the entity causes this (as in positive emotion) as well. So I don't think the final "the foundation losing is the bad ending" is really justified. I know this isn't the best place to post this, but I just wanted to throw my hat into the ring.
Great video! I read the declass and it was fantastic, I honestly don't think I could've deduced as much as he did if you gave me a whole week. Lol I think I prefer an idea brought up in the replies to the declass that "IT" may be empathy itself because in my opinion the declass doesn't adequately explain why O5-1 and SCP-682 find "IT" disgusting, specifically disgusting. What if I told you empathy is not really a human trait? I think the foundation might say "if that's what you told me, I'd say that's disgusting." Lol :P

It’s almost poetic that the human who saves humanity is the one closest to being a ghost. Unseen and unnoticed by everyone around him. Yes I know this is cliche but for some reason that was what stuck out to me the most.
That's what doomed humanity. A single ghost of a man. The Foundation losing was the bad ending, and now that they know to destroy the suit and find out what had affected humanity. They only delayed the inevitable.
@@positivityboi1232 not quite - if i’m correct, when using both of the SPC’s aforementioned in the video, the universe is restarted, *not* recreated. the reality that follows will not be identical to its predecessor, meaning that the changes could vary from minimal to drastic - i.e., anything from certain people not existing to a certain historical events not happening/happening sooner or later).
@@steveha-ha-harrington8491 Ah, I see, thank you for the clarification :)
@@steveha-ha-harrington8491 If this theory is right, the thing that caused the SCP foundation to attempt to kill humanity was the Scarlet King, that he exists in every human on every reality in some sort of way, probably related to pain.

@@demonkingsparda bruh yea I can see that whole scene play out kml
The thing I never see talked about with this SCP and what I wish was talked about more is how the Global Occult Coalition are absolute fucking badasses. Normally the GOC is that incompetent, borderline evil group, but when the chips were on the table the went "Alright let's fucking go" and went about protecting humanity. And Ganzir was holding out against EVERYTHING a fully capable evil foundation was throwing at it. Every soldier, every anomaly, Ganzir fucking took it and was holding out. They were even using Able to help with their defenses, REPEATEDLY, they had anomalies of their own fighting for them. God the battle of Ganzir would have been so insane. Foundation with weaponized anomalies vs Ganzir, with the GOC's borderline mech suits, reality benders, magicians and Able going absolutely mad in their defense of the last of humanity. So badass.
The GOC are badasses, it's just that the one that wrote the files explaining them (supposedly a staff of the SCP facility) hates them. Writing it in a way that makes them choose the "Shoot first, ask never." option. While in reality, they choose to negotiate first.
I’d watch a movie of this 🔥

That's all well and good but the point of the story was that for some reason exterminating humanity was the RIGHT thing to do. Therefore, protecting humanity was an evil thing to do.

Maybe what they finally found was what SCP - 049 (The Plague Doctor) was always trying to cure since his reanimates are seen as being stripped out of their humanity
that's a good point
That's not what it could be. The Plague Doctor was incapable of saying what the pestilence was and considered some humans uninfected despite the fact that the entity courses throughout all of humanity. Not only that he requested to expirment on cadivars to work on, which naturally wouldn't have the entity on since they would be disconnected from the psychosphere due to being dead. These cadivars sometime weren't even human. It also doesn't make sense because the Plague Doctor doesn't posses any amenstic effect which is how the Foundation found out about the entity
Yup, Also why 682 Hates Humanity so much
@@Captianmex1C0 which is weird because he was created to hate all life, but he hates the thing that would bring pain to humanity? that makes no sense. the writing for this scp was good until it gets to scp 682
@@Dave_of_Mordor This SCP is brilliant. What are talking about?

gustav jacobsson yeah on point. the entity that ate its own universe and got stuck on flypaper
I believe there's something in the human unconscious (maybe something anti memedic in nature) that was so terrible when the scp foundation was 'freed' they realised what they had done and were terrified. this is why the GOC agents were screaming when they found out and why the foundation was trying to kill everyone for what they did

What does that mean?
@@haydenhernandez8253 it's a group in the scp universe that makes anomalous "art"
One theory I've heard is that pain, the ability of humans to feel bad because bad things are happening, is the result of an anomalous entity burrowing its way into the minds of all humans. The Foundation was horrified by it, and developed a means to cure themselves from its influence (which only affected Dr. Bright's current vessel, not Dr. Bright himself) before trying to eliminate it by eliminating all infected by it. The voice from the radio is how the thing talks, and the stretched-out person was a physical manifestation of it.
What if that is what 049 is talking about
05 discovered an enitiy in the human psychospace that gave humanity the ability to feel pain. They also found out why this entity did that and what it has in store for humanity. It was so horrific that 05 decided to spare every person living by offing them now so they dont suffer by the entity.
I doubt that. Through the many clues pointed out in the video and the story, the Foundation evidently became "corrupted" because what they thought it saw in the Psychospace was something they couldn't comprehend that connected Humanity as a whole on a subconscious level. Perhaps they saw they glimpsed the very essence of Human Will itself, which was something they weren't supposed to see, and doing so caused some kind of "Logical/Spiritual Glitch" and thus the Foundation Staff became Inhuman and embodied the villainous drive of Owlman from Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths and Valentine from Kingsman: a hypocritical quest to "save" Humanity by killing it. What's the point of "saving" Humanity when everything about "saving" it has been ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE AND INHUMAN...? Also, I have every reason to belive that the Horizon Anomaly was SCP-343.
@@Huyle18 It can't be that mundane, though. Simply being told about it second hand causes people to kill themselves or go crazy pretty much immediately. So, whatever they discovered is an anomalous infohazard, just one inherent to the human subconscious. People usually don't just believe horrible truths right away or completely alter their attitude towards humanity in a heartbeat, that's not how the mind works.
@@RelativelyBest I think you are confused on some of the story. the email sent is a spell to protect people from this entity. Lots of the staff did learn the truth about said entity and decided to die rather than fall to the entity.

It's like that one DC / Marvel Crossover where the Joker refuses to work with Red Skull because he's a Nazi. I believe the quote is: "I may be a criminal lunatic, but I'm an American criminal lunatic." It was inspired by "The Rocketeer" but still it was my immediate thought.
I can only imagine what must've been going through 682's mind at the time. "So, let me get this straight: you're releasing me from containment.." "Yes." "And allowing me to destroy anything I so wish.." "Yes." "And you're doing the same with all other creatures in foundation custody?" "Yes." "..I am not sure how to feel about this.."
*Also 682* _"I hated all living things before it was even cool... fucking normies..."_
Honestly I think 682 likes the game, being hunted. Even if he cannot be killed he likes the thrill of possibly becoming mortal, he likes being the prey. To die.

You know, sometimes I have to take a break after watching these videos. Some of the stories in the SCP database are so beautifully painful, and so deeply meaning, that it leaves me shell-shocked. Pietro's journey throughout this entire story, and the underlying tone of loss/keeping of humanity, is... I don't have a word for how heartwrenching, but also uplifting it is. What the SCP Foundation 'found' *was* Humanity. Every shared moral, emotion, drive, and will to live that we have. In my opinion, the SCP Foundation truly found God - or whatever equivalent thing it was - as we are 'made in his image', a fact referenced by the chastisement of the O5 Council member when he said 'God help us'. They discovered what makes us human, and in following with their own doctrine of contain or destroy what is unknown, opted to destroy it. They assumed that what they found was dangerous, and that we needed to be freed from it. In direct opposition to this, we have Pietro, who while he has lost his personal humanity, is the absolute embodiment of it. He proceeds, at first, in order to try and help where he can, an underlying point of humanity, and having a soul. He continues on despite all the horrors he's seen, and all the damage he's taken, because that's the human thing to do. He tries to save the timeline, and reset it, because his humanity demands that he do so. His still having of his humanity, despite being desensitized to everything, was made obvious when he chose to not follow Doctor Bright to the hole of parallel dimensions, and instead carry on. At the end, when he 'felt a gun to the back of his head', that was all the weight of his humanity forcing him to march one despite all his pain, and all he'd been through. It's such a beautiful, painful, and genuine take on what it means to be human, and how even though we might think we'd be better without it, even though we are more effective without it, it is still what intrinsically makes everything *worth doing*. Thanks if you read all that, have a nice day. As they say in Halo: "Be Human."

if you liked 5000, watch 2273. Both 5000 and 2273 are my personal favorite. kzhead.info/sun/g8yjk9GmeICId68/bejne.html
This SCP personally reminds me a lot of the concept of a higher self - that your soul is tied to another larger one that uses your suffering in an unfair transaction you are forced into for its own personal gain. Maybe that's what they found?
But what if "being human" ends up being bad? Whatever "entity" they found within our psychosphere could mean something truly horrible. It could have put in us a desire to be cooperative, feeling, brave, etc so that our population would grow to 7+ billion people thus making *it* grow much bigger and more powerful with a global influence. The entity that has used us to spread could be much worse than leaving everyone alive. I don't know how it could be worse, only that it could be. What if the thing they found within humanity is the reason for SCP-2718? The captured guy who doesn't feel pain and isn't scared of pain could be free from that suffering while every dead person since the beginning of "the invasion" presumably eons ago has been in endless torment the whole time. "We're so kind to you, you know. We fight in the light so you can die in the dark." The peace of death without eternal torment. Just saying, there could be good reasons to snuff the human universal consciousness.
@@LordKristivas That could very well be the case. For me, however, I don't believe that suffering, knowing pain, or what have you, is necessarily a bad thing. Now, obviously I'm not saying its a *good* or *desirable* thing, but its function to me outweighs its negatives. Let me explain. So there is a prevailing theme throughout stories in cultures throughout the world of Order against Chaos, Harmony against Disharmony, and Bliss against Suffering. Often times, the former parts are framed as the 'good' attributes, and the latter as the 'bad' attributes. It's VERY common in western cultures especially - the framing, I mean. Hence, why a lot of modern media and framing continues this narrative. It's not necessarily wrong, either, mind you. Anarchy is good for no one, suffering is painful, disharmony can lead to conflict which in turn can lead to the former two. However, another underlying theme amongst many cultures, most notably more Eastern style cultures such as the Japanese or Chinese. And that is the concept of balance. One cannot know peace of mind until he has recognized how chaotic his thoughts are, for instance. This doesn't mean that a chaotic mind is *bad*, however. In fact, in order to understand what a peaceful mind is, a chaotic mind is *required*, as without it you wouldn't have the perspective to understand what a peaceful mind is. Likewise, you need suffering to understand what bliss is, and vice versa, as without it, it would all just be the same, and you'd never know the difference. On top of this, consider motivation. At the basest level, we can assume that most of what we do is done from a desire to come out of any given situation better. You cook your food with spices and vegetables so that it tastes better, for instance. Why? Because its preferable to eating unseasoned food. Why does that matter to you? Because you are coming from a place where you are not as happy, or not as well off, and while unseasoned food would sate your hunger, it wouldn't leave you feeling *better*. If you take away the contrast between the negative aspects of being human, then you aren't left with the good aspects of being human. You're actually left with nothing, as even your basest motivations for doing something are gone. Another example is football. Why would you ever play such a taxing, straining, painful sport? Because when you finally score, it feels earned, because you put up with all that pain and suffering to become better and make that goal. Without the difficulty, without the suffering, of all those hours practicing, working out, and playing the game, your victory is less beautiful, less rewarding. All this to say that I think even if the thing the SCP Foundation found in humans causes pain and suffering and hardship, it's worth keeping around. Life would have little to no meaning if things didn't suck sometimes, as when something good happened, we'd never know, or take it for granted. And if a Psonic Parasite from another Dimension imbedded in all of humanity is responsible for giving life meaning, then I think its worth keeping around, even if its a bit creepy.
I seriously love this SCP. there’s so much philosophical and existential depth here, and it explores so much in such a tangled & mysterious web. I’m going to turn this into a TV series one day, I know it.
I still dont get it. It seems like a typical humans are evil story.
@@johncarl5505 Not really, it implies a lot about the human soul and the human unconscious that is very thought-provoking and is written in a very unique and mysterious way that builds on itself and alludes throughout the story to the ending. It implies something that on its own is so revolting to anyone who is exposed to the unequivocal truth all simultaneously agree that it would be better off killing all living human beings than to allow that intrinsic part of what makes up humanity to carry on. Pain, suffering, agony, despair, sadism, vanity, morality, faith. This is part of the human soul, and from a purely objective point of view, which the Foundation was able to achieve by ridding themselves of their own souls, is "disgusting" and deserves to be destroyed. And that's just talking about the meaning of the story, the world building and settings is awesome and sets a very dystopian and increasing hopeless feeling.

"SCP 682 is simply released." I don't know why but this was so damn funny to me.
All other SCPs have deep explanations on to why they were released and what distraction the were causing, but for 682 they just said “released”
He of course returned to his homeland, Florida
No step on snek, snek step on you disgusting human
@@brianbrush5107 there he is but a standard alligator.
I'd say it's cause of how in-depth his profile is: a ton of experiments, information, interactions with other anomalies, ballistics tests, etc. explaining why he's so dangerous/malevolent/invincible/inevitable. Don't need to get creative with using it. He'll kill as he pleases, & outlast anything, outliving any human survivors. Statistically, if he wont die & remains out earth, he'll eventually eradicate humanity or at least be around for it. His whole thing is he doesnt die.
Someone may have said this somewhere ( I'm not really sure). But just in case it hasn't, I'll say it now. While I was looking at Scp 5000 in the wiki, I noticed that each table of anomalies that the Foundation have been using against humanity that Pietro was keeping track of were all grouped together in the series they were introduced in. In the first table that Pietro comprises, he only includes series 1 Scps. In the second table, Only series 2 Scps were included. This ended with series 5 being in the last table of course.
Wow :0
Gotta admit, that's neat... However the selection for every SCP other than for series 1 feels rather strange, I get 2 of them were thematic to the narrative however like 2 or 3 felt just out of place (Pokemon and Quakers... I mean c'mon the foundation can throw harder punches than that!)
@@Nobody-zl3kk If anything that's just really telling of the ridiculously far lengths the Foundation was willing to go to in order to ensure the maximum number of deaths. No matter how bizarre on its face or seemingly ineffective an SCP was at doing this at least _somebody_ was dying. They were willing to try anything and everything. And hey, with catalogues upon catalogues of all kinds of deadly anomalies as gargantuan as the Foundation's the authors might as well have fun with it. Embellishments are worth it just for fact that now I know a goddamn Pokémon Go SCP exists, and here I was thinking it stopped at Among Us!
"There will be no further communication." is perhaps the MOST chilling way of ending that message.

God damn, the SCP universe is a lot more freaking terrifying when the Fundation goes evil
Implying they went evil here. Picture this: The "IT" they discovered in the psychospace is some sort of (anti?)memetic parasite with very obviously evil intentions (maybe causing negative effects over multiple parallel universes if left unchecked). Human empathy is one of the mechanisms this being uses to protect itself. What the foundation did here was just an efficient way of containing this being after they "cured" themselves of the parasite, thus also eradicating their empathy.
*more evil.
@@Tacklepig Well we dont know for all we know it could just be when they discoverd the "holy spirits/soul of what makes humans humans" that in itself triggered something. Aka the implication is that if they would have never triggered the bee hive for something they should have never known in the first place. Everything would be fine. Then again the "IT" surived by guideing our ghost to reset the timeline.
@@Tacklepig that's not a bad theory.
There are no good guys. Just different points of view. That said the foundation definitely has never been good guys. They are the guys who do what they think they have to to keep "abnormalities" in check. Except when you really think about the implications of the scp universe what is considered normal is in fact abnormal. So the foundation are just a bunch of short sighted psychopaths.
The conversation with encounter with dr bright was so wholesome
As much as we portray him as a mad man with a homicidal streak a mile wide, he is, at the end of the day, a man, and this version of him just got to see the people he's worked with all his existence, decide to turn their backs on everyone, and everything, in the world. Makes sense he'd be at his most introspective.

How do you know what they discovered about humanity was actually true? What if it was a cognitohazard like 2718 that only becomes real if you believe in it?
A thing that stays dormant in thr mind but only blossoms under specific conditions. Possible that it wanted humanity to realize it was there and detach it from them.
Ainsley the meat rubber but now the foundation knows about project numa and the danger that it has if they were to start it, I doubt they would after learning this
Knight because dr bright confirmed it was not a cognito hazard. I don’t think the author intended that conversation to be misleading. It was a giant clue that what they found was not a cognito hazard but most likely a realization about an intrinsic aspect of humanity. An aspect that is objectively vile enough to make any being realize that humanity is disgusting and needs to be brutally destroyed
Knight if the author intended it to be a cognito hazard, he would not have included dr bright in the story or at least have him mention it wasnt

I doubt its for shits and giggles, Id imagine at that point he wants to get out of that nightmare.
Well that's the only logical thing to do. Because at that point of time, it would be better to live in another dimension so he could always find a new wearer for the amulet. Even with low ods the dimension could be even worse then the first one, but anyway he would find a way to find a better one because he's Dr.Bright.

Questionable Organizations: We were bad but now we good.

Foundation: Aight, so we are on board to kill everyone, and we are releasing every SCP there is. The Bad Guys: Yo wtf, thats sick bro. I don't wanna be good, but someone's gotta stop you jfc.
it’s implied throughout the SCP that the foundation losing was, in reality, the bad ending. that empathy is a side effect of some higher eldritch power incubating in humanity’s collective unconsciousness. really fascinating scp imo.
Yet it is that same entity "incubating" within the human collective unconsciousness which allows us to feel empathy and pain. That parasite is what makes us human, what makes us value each other so we continue on existing, allowing it to grow undisturbed until it hatches. No, actually... This implies that those values are human. The entity was the one who gave us those values. As the MTF agent says, we were never supposed to feel pain. That which we pride ourselves on was never ours to begin with. It's really interesting. I love this SCP.
But then in attached articles the story goes on saying that what was discovered was that after a person dies they feel the pain of decay, and once their body has decayed they enter a whole new world of pure agony. Not hell, not heaven, just pain. If I recall correctly this was because of the Entity, and the only way to kill the Entity and to grant peace to the dead was by killing every human being.
Not only that, but according to SCP 2178, we suffer in death endlessly, conscious in our dead body and feeling pain forever. The theory I agree with is that the Foundation realized a parasitic entity was causing every person who has ever lived to suffer endlessly, essentially hell made real, and that the only way to stop it was to kill us all to free us from damnation.@@carlwheezer1640

Well, every 1000 entry kicks off a whole new series. Of course they'll only accept large-scale, deep, well-written entries.
Yeah alright, that makes sense.
I honestly love this SCP article. There's just so many things. I. It shows just how much power and influence the Foundation has. The other forces and groups have a great deal of influence and control, but the Foundation is the hand that holds the world high. It's not too surprising to know the only thing keeping the world from collapsing is the Foundation, but it's harrowing to realize that the Foundation's humanity is what is keeping hell itself from rising to devour everything and everyone, from their allies to their enemies. To wield the dark lends one a certain power, but to suddenly have the abyss devour and envelop you so heartlessly makes you realize that you're really not anything at all. II. The loneliness, confusion and hopelessness of the piece, especially from Pietro's perspective. He's honestly just a lost man wondering what is happening, seeing chaos and torture corrode and twist the world. He's seeing anomalies both known and unknown (possibly undocumented, or merely new horrors unleashed or made in the chaos) rampaging across the world, with the few good people left trying to keep it together, but ultimately failing. And the merging of 055 and 579 display just how desperate and irreversible of a state the world is in. III. This and 6820 display just how powerful and utterly evil 682 is, to where its anger, malice and hate are so powerful that it literally defies reality itself just to survive only to keep killing. This is one of those articles that kind of gives some credence to the theory that 682 is actually the Devil, making the Foundation as inhuman and indifferent is it is. I also love the idea that the entity is the Holy Spirit; many horrific, world ending things happen within the SCP universe, but with this situation being so utterly horrible that it HAD to intervene to help Pietro. Overall a magnificent SCP, showing perhaps the most definitive GAME OVER for the SCP Universe.
Was the Foundation consumed by the abyss or freed from it? They literally refer to the humans they're slaughtering as "Dying in the dark", and all signs point to them having "released" themselves from an effect that was put on humanity; as opposed to being subjected to an effect. We also know that whatever this "IT" responsible for lovey-dovey feelings is, it had something so utterly horrible in plan that it caused even the Ethics Committee to come to a unanimous agreement with the 05's almost instantly; all of this before they took the "cure" as well, this is the regular EC agreeing to this action. The Foundation had freed themselves from the abyss, and they were simply cleaning up the mess it had made.
That’s delightfully optimistic. The other way to look at it is that the foundation is still the good guy here. That killing everyone is the right and moral thing to do. That if we knew why, we would agree.
The best explanation I've seen is that humanity is being tortured forever after death by the parasitic entity the Foundation discovers in this entry (also mentioned in SCP 2178) and the omnicide is the only way to put a stop to literal hell on earth for every person who has ever lived in history.
This honestly reminds me of Dark Souls in a way. It's like the first time the player discovers we're technically the "bad guy", the Darkness of Man that all other life fears. It's as if the Foundation discovered we all had a piece of the Dark Soul, and that we needed to be destroyed so that we didn't bring an age of darkness to the universe.
Except the darkness is inevitable.

I like how they just let 682 out. 682 was just chillin one day and all of a sudden his containment opens up. He probably thought it was a trick and the foundation was gonna send 999 again, but no just good ol fashion freedoms and amuck running. Good times.
Just imagine the massive smile on his face once he was either told or found out, what the foundation was doing.
Combine115 “Freedom to kill all of you worthless pieces of garbage? If you insist.” At this point SCP-682 proceeded to start with members of the foundation in that site and then moved on killing indiscriminately around the world.
It would be such a power move if he stepped out and just lay down in the sun for a few decades. Why should it make the meat happy? When they're dead it can just kill everything else.
Lrr_Of_Omikron I’m sure they killed 999 since he was supposed to battle 001. Scarlet king.
Essentially a World End scenario in which the Foundation is infected by 682's omnicidal urges. The story is one of those sober, hopeless narratives where the main character, Pietro, isn't a hero. It's yet another "answer" to the popular stories where the hero somehow rises up and defeats the evil, or fights to the end. He doesn't, he dies. This universe has went kaput, time for Bright to peace out.
Except that the Foundation is the good guy here. The Foundation saw what made 682 hate humanity so much and were disgusted by it as well, that’s what led to this war...if you can call it that.
@@kziila0244 And yet, if it's that bad, but it can be 'cured' by the images, then why not use those on everyone? The Resignations stopped when those went out, so there's two possibilities. The images render you into something less than human, that is still not something they support, more something they have to be to get this done, or it just kills those it can't convert, unless they're immortal like Bright.
@@SageofStars It's not really a cure & whatever you "realize," after seeing those images just causes you to be disgusted of humanity or maybe all life in general. This is not the direct effect of the images, just the realization & knowledge. When an alternate plan is shown, they immediately refuse it claiming that the plan is suggested by "IT," rather than the person himself. So according to the story, ITs are actually humans. Everything that makes you a human is, IT. The vagueness kinda makes it open to speculate but in original, it's suggested that we are not humans. We are not living.
As for the "cure," not really being a cure: There is no cure. Only the realization of what's going on and what will happen. You realize what's going on with you, have knowledge and you are "free," in terms of your actions. But whatever is going on with you, with humanity, is never going to stop. Even if you gain your freedom and live your life, have a children and make them "free," your children will still carry IT. It will go on, until the end. The realization of this and the end of it is why the Foundation decided to destroy humanity.
