      I thought this also. Another point is "My god created everything even the natural laws that fundamentally drive the universe." "Then why did he have to change them to bring about the necessary form of life. Why didn't he just do that to start with?" they really half assed the determinism argument and Poor Chugaev did not have the tools or capacity in that situation to defend himself or his humanity.

      Like, suppose an omnipotent, omniscient creator deity does indeed exist and this being has this flawless design for the entire universe, from beginning to end, too grand for us mere mortals to comprehend. If so, then atheists only exist because that entity has judged that they _should_ exist, because they serve some grander purpose within that design.

      It is interesting how its so similar to 610.
      I dont understand it completely but what is the real difference between organic and synthetic?
      Both can make mechanical constructs out of the same material.
      I think thats the crux of the issue but when you break it down enough, they really are similar and the only difference is our descriptions. Are they really that different?
      Taking this scp into mind, mekhane and yaldaboath is synthetic vs biological respectively.

      It's odd when they center around one singular person, because these things just become the end of the world as the SCP wants it. So why is there a next number? World's dead, right? Or are we hopping over to C-138 and doing it all over again? That's why stories need to be stories and SCPs need to be SCPs. This is not an SCP, it's just a short novel. It contains no real usable canon simply because it's an end-point. There is no after, so why classify it as an SCP? Shove it in the stories archive where it belongs.

    I do find this interpretation of the Broken God wholly unique; rather than simply being a god of machines and information/sentience, this interpretation is much grander in scope.

      What I personally find so fascinating is that - while this story has a bent towards Fatalism - the inherent dialogue used really reminds me of real-world discussions and rhetoric I've seen in regards to religion. While 'faith' is a common theme among Broken God SCPs, it's rare that the concepts and discussions had about The Broken God are anything *but* blind faith. Ironically because I disagree with their conclusions, it's particularly funny to me to see this sect essentially call every other Broken God sect "Too Individualistic," which is something I personally associate more with Sarkicism.

      Personal pet theory: 682 is 001. Some dudes found it, couldn't kill it, kept trying to kill it, realized something fucky was going on, gradually found other fucky things. Kept on trying to kill 682. It wasn't called that yet, though. One day, someone asked how they got started, what was the first thing that made them realize how crazy the world is, and they feel super embarrassed going "we found an immortal lizard", so that's why there's all these 001 proposals- every time you ask the question you get a different answer.

      Its not even the iron and sulfur itself, its the laws of physics and chemistry being perverted to transform iron into something more than its natural state - iron cannot form the bonds with sulfur that mekhane is exploiting, its simply impossible. The field FORCES iron to act as Mekhanes will, iron transformed into something different.
      Whenever Mekhanes iron encounters normal iron, it infects its physics onto the new iron.

  • @LordOfTheFatties
    @LordOfTheFatties ปีที่แล้ว +2

    What the church's followers refuse to acknowledge in this story is the concept of emergent properties. That is to say, when a group of parts are summed together, they can result in a new property that none of the constituent parts can provide. A common phrase, "greater than the sum of the parts" would be a more colloquial way to imagine this, and it's common in biology. For example, the parts that make up a cell are all incapable of serving the function of a cell. A mitochondria may produce ATP, but it cannot do so without the surrounding parts. Similarly, when groups of cells gather together and form a tissue, that tissue gains new functions that the individual cells cannot perform. Tissues come together to form organs, and organs come together to form organ systems, and those systems can come together to form an organism.
    One of the emergent properties of organisms is Consciousness, a property that does not exist at any lower level of biology than this. And the infinite wonders and mysterious of consciousness are something only jsut barely understood, and startlingly it is a property of biology which understands and describes ITSELF, also unique. So is it difficult to accept that one of the properties of this consciousness is also to be not wholly random and not wholly determinate? To represent a new function of all the smaller parts which make up the whole, consciousness-generating organism? The function of will, the ability to make a choice, to constantly allow the future to hinge and balance on the state of the will. If there was only a single conscious will in existence, perhaps their actions would always seem controlled by predetermined circumstances of the environment, but because our will can collide with each other, and with the will of other animals, the result is something new. A new emergent property, formed only when many consciousnesses exist together and interact with each other, like cells forming a tissue and tissues forming an organ, our wills form a world that is not random, and not deterministic.
    It's willful.
    And I am not a robot, god damnit.

  • @jesseberg3271
    @jesseberg3271 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    That was some anime level bad philosophy at the end there. The most basic rebuttal to it is that _If everything in the universe is deterministic, then my rejection of your arguments are the will of your god. If I am a machine programed to falsely believe that I have free will, then you are the fool for trying to convince me to go against my programing._
    I get that the good Doctor is under the influence of the anomaly and not functioning at full capacity, so no blame on him for falling for it, but it is a singularly bad argument.

    • @EXaberz
      @EXaberz ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Can the broken god priest really be called foolish if his actions were simply the products of his machinations as well? I think he's merely amusing in the fact that the doctor still believes in free will despite "machines" producing life-like behaviours before his very eyes like the cells and tentacles. Like when you see an interesting harmless box with a button and you push it just to see what it does. You know it will always do what it's been designed to do, but that doesn't mean you yourself know what that is.
      The conversation is probably there just to clarify its own ideas to the reader as the priest has no real reason to try to convince the doctor other than his own amusement.

    Hm... I've heard about an interesting aspect of grey-goo-scenarios in general.
    Essentially, what makes this scenario pretty impossible is simply heat generation.
    Any work generates excess heat, as there is no process spending energy which is absolutely perfect.
    And the insane amount of work changing anything into grey goo on a global scale, would simply generate enough heat to destroy the grey goo at some point. At least in all scenarios, where the grey goo overtakes everything in a rather short time (like hours, but even when talking in years).
    On the other hand - we are playing with literal gods here, able to change the rules of the univers at will - so it get's some leeway :D

    About seven years ago, I hit a bad mental health patch, and I became terrified of the fact that I fully believe that the mind is just an emergent property of the physical brain. My husband was studying meditation at the time, and any time he brought up the annihilation of the self, it would send me spiraling into anxiety and depression.
    Once my situation had improved, I came to the conclusion that if there is any chance at all that free will is unfalsifiable rather than illusory, I am morally obligated to act as if it exists.

    This SCP is a wierd way to explain what "emergence" is.
    1:19:57 is basically what it is, IIRC.
    We ARE machines, in a way. Our cells are just molecular machines, built from molecules that we would consider dead and souless. Somehow, these molecules have combined to form life, and these molecular machines have combines to form us. This is emergence. Molecules are not "alive " in any sense of the word, but cells, which are just very specific arrangement of molecules, are. Our cells do not have a consciousnesses, a purpose, or even what we would call free will, but we do.
    The sum is orders of magnitude more complex than the parts. Life can be born from dead building blocks, patterns can arise from pure randomness, and a God can emerge from all the laws and matter in the universe.

Just the universe itself inexplicably shifting paradigm, and chemistry as we know it coming undone. Safe bonds become unstable. Hydrophilic materials becoming hydrophobic. Acids behaving like bases.

    The mentioning of instinct protecting him and sensing matter itself is dead reeks of yaldaboth. The god of flesh but also instinct and primal urges such as self preservation and continuation of life, usually as flesh monsters but that's not the point. Arguably you'd lose yourself in a Sarkic equivalent too but some imply retained individually for the more evolved.

      I know how you feel, I sometimes come up with idea for some scp thought sound cool but I don’t think the way I write them out would allow them to be accepted, but it’s worth trying out
