This makes complete sense, and I’m assuming the “Pestilence” SCP-049 refers to is once again the “entity”, since 049 turns people into mindless zombies, he even states its not a perfect cure, which the O5 Council perfected. Wish we could’ve seen 049 in this
The Explanation-Part does not explain much though, which is bothersome. The Entity's Plan seems to not make sense, seeing as it exists in all Timelines and Versions of Earth (as do Pain and Sympathy), so bringing the Suitcase and the Briefcase to another World is actually causing more 5000-Situations to happen, not less. The Foundtion not knowing is good for the Entity, but it does the Opposite to this and more people will know. What's that about? „Its not round“ was also totally skipped over by this TH-camr here, as if it means nothing.
@@loturzelrestaurant You do not need to know the entity's reason or plan. That is why it caused the reset via one of the last humans connected to it and showed him the truth in the end, hence the:, " ah i see how it is". all we need to know is that it must be totally disgusting as the reptile said since once they saw those documents they went from: protect people and contain with massive sacrifices at all costs to wipe everything out related to humanity , no exception. Also the briefcase is a special scp. you always forget about it after you see it and can only remember it's not round.

I mean, it’s not really shocking. If all these anomalies were loose at some point, then they’d NEED to take a while to end the world to have been contained in the first place.
They didnt exactly release the instant end of the world scenario and the SCP foundation fortunately is not the only place using anomaly to help them so it will obviously take far longer
In my eyes as well, I feel like SCP-049 (The Plague Doctor) was also curing humanity of this entity, by killing them and reanimating them as zombies. 049 notices his cure isn't perfect yet, making zombies but he still says it's done the job. When they're zombies they have effectively been removed from the psycho-space and the entity's control.
@@banananana810 2718 is the fact that after you die, you don't lose your conciousness, even though you cannot do anything, just oberve your body rotting away.. forever. This one hits pretty close to home 'cause I always wondered as a child what comes after death and I wondered if something like this could happen. Crazy shit.
the voices behind all of these are amazing, hearing a story, but feels like reality is absolutely amazing always been fascinated with people's voices for this stuff I wish I could do it too
I can’t imagine how SCP 999 would be feeling during all of this. 999 can sense when people are in a state of sadness, depression, anger, pain, etc. Our Tickle Monster may have been feeling depressed himself during this time
“Answers, I guess. More than anything I want answers. Even if I get kicked to death afterwards.” Just noticed that’s a pretty clever callback to his father kicking a stray cat to death.
I was a curious cat that got skinned by satanists for my curiosity but honestly, the scars were worth the knowledge, so was the ptsd. After already visiting Heaven outside this simulation, I had to know if Hell was real, now I know, Hell only exists inside the simulation, not outside. You have to be Alive to be in Hell and even then, you wont be there for too long and angel can enter Hell, I've seen it. I met many famous people in Hell and they're all kind hearted after your torture.
The Foundation has been known to be tight on info . If there was even a slight chance of an unaffected human to slip by, and spotted uncensored info into anything relating to their plans of orchestrating doomsday, it could spread it to the GOC and other groups to make a counter offense . It being the Entity in the Psycho-Space.
Good point. 1 GOC agent found out,and the entire organization got ruined. Just spreading that information to other organizations could have been more effective than anything else.
@Iksdlab the amulet cannot be destroyed and Dr Broght cam't be seperated from it so they good, also they maybe reached their location and when to a different universe
So what you´re saying is that entity/SCP MAY have tricked the Foudation by making a plan worse than extinction. So in a countermeasure the foudation made a mass killing plan. But why this SCP would make such a complicated plan, if it needs the human body alive for whatever reason?
Eh, that ignores the reason it leaves to the existence behind so many SCP’s that seem to be so obviously focused on the destruction or death of most if not all of humanity. Something’s waging war on that deity, and we’re just it’s puppets that are prolonging the inevitable. Our trains of thought are practically completely guided by this deity, including our will to live. Without it, you can’t even imagine just how we’re intended to think. How our minds would work. It’s something beyond any understanding. All doubt and hope for a misunderstanding is just the deity speaking.
Wouldn't make sense since he is invincible and he could kill everyone by just touching, zombies would just be another scps. But he dont do so, this mean this isn't what he was talking about
Nope, 49 specifically said that only SOME people are affected by the disease, a lot of the people in his site aren't and as such he isn't really violent.
That's what 682 truly means when it said it hates **humanity** It doesn't hate humans as a species, he just hates that entity that causes "humanity". SCP 049 is trying his best to save humanity, but he just can't do it cause he's fighting something that doesn't physically exist. He's a physician trying to do a psychologists job. Scarlet King hate modernity, cause modernity is simply humans attempt at making our lives better due to empathy. Scarlet King is trying to make everyone lose empathy in an attempt to fight the creature. Hell, all of space wants humanity gone. But not "humans". Just that godforsaken entity that gives us our humanity.
@@coocoo3336 There are other plot holes, but I get stuck on one particular point. It actually drives down to the notions applying to pain primarily, and empathy secondarily. Regarding pain, it's merely an application of emotion to the data associated with harm. You can't ignore it. It protects the body... So realistically, that would be a natural component of the species (as it is for all species capable of responding to stimuli in real time). So, that part doesn't quite connect for me directly. Regarding empathy, that's a social adaptation. Similar to above, you see it to varying degrees in social species. I'm not sure humanity legitimately lost. Do I think the Foundation was legitimately convinced of the horrific aspects? Yes. Does that mean they weren't convinced by something else of a lie? No, it does not mean that. Could be yes or no... So is this a happy or sad ending? Both. Killing the patient to cure the disease is rarely the right way to go, however. So either way, for there to be such a thing as hope, the Foundation of that timeline had to lose
Plague doctor doesn't work, all of humanity is effected by the entity in 5000, not everyone has the pestilence. I feel like all the people who think the plague doctor is linked to this, either haven't actually read 049, or haven't read 049 in a while and have forgotten all of the interview parts.
Since Dr Bright's consciousness is connected to the space that lets the entity live and Bright can never die, wouldn't the entity live on with Dr Bright's consciousness inside the amulet even if this Pietro doesn't exist, they can never do anything about an indestructible amulet afterall. So in the end, there will always be one last "human" conscious remaining no matter what the foundation does.
I don’t think that would happen because the explanation said that Dr.Bright is also technically not human as he is just a soul trapped in the amulet and being controlled by another entity. If he was human and met the same circumstances as other people, he would have been affected by the cure in file 2. Since its not affecting him I think dr bright is just outside the control of the entity
That “oh, that’s how it is” is piedro realizing that he sacrificed everything and became an unwitting tool in the plan of a malevolent being that taunted him in his final moments. This is his final thought and he is just left in despair and only utters a sentence of resignation.
@@NorthernNorthdude91749 except that its implied that the best scenario was to destroy humanity, and that Pietro restarting the timeline was actually the bad ending
If empathy, pain, love, etc. aren’t supposed to be present within humans, then who introduces it within other species that experience the same emotions such as elephants, great apes, and cetaceans? Do they share the psychoscape or do they have their own psychoscape being influenced by the same entity or a similar entity?
@CertifiedKJ Ah, human arrogance is quite the plague. Elephants, most canines, most cetaceans, great apes, some parrots, and most monkeys are all empathic. Elephants have been known to make art and mourn their dead. There’s a species of Macaque that dip sweet potatoes into saltwater to make them taste better. There was a Gorilla by the name Koko who understood sign language and had a higher IQ than the average human. There was an Orca who carried her dead child’s body over hundreds of miles as she grieved. Octopi are known to make shelter, and beavers are literally known _for_ it. On the topic of Octopi, they’ve also been known to hold grudges, as do tigers who know the concept of revenge. Great apes, elephants, crows, monkeys, and octopi use tools. There were instances in which birds of prey intentionally spread fires to weed out prey animals. Chimpanzees have been known to have wars. There are at least a dozen species, including magpies, who recognize their reflections in the mirror. PLENTY of mammals exhibit homosexuality. There’s evidence of behavior analogous to racism in Orcas. Seahorses sing to their mates under moonlight. Dolphins have verbal language, even giving each other names, as well as having sex for reasons other than reproduction. The list goes on for miles, honestly.
@@purplehaze2358 Koko couldn't "speak" sign language. There is an excellent documentary exposing the abuse it went through for what essentially amounts to clout. Do you really think an ape is actually capable of giving a monologue about climate change and environmentalism while dying?
@@randomnerd9088 Even if that necessarily were true, Koko still had a higher IQ than the average human and even owned a pet. And that still doesn’t account for pretty much every other part of my comment.
Also, 58:17 wasn't really a hallucination: "The Goddess eats the city in the sea" : The fall of Ganzir "I'm standing behind you now": remember when Pietro (sorry if I misspelled the name) said that he could feel that 579 was behind him? "There's a hole in the floor with an answer waiting in it": The final destination where he jumped before throwing 055 "I've never been to Versailles before": he said he travelled half the world, so perhaps 079 is actually in France?
There is actually another theory about scp-5000. Which is that scp-579 was actually bringing pietro and scp-055 to make a NEW universe to eradicate the entity from the phyico-space. And make a new timeline without the entity present in the human phyico-space. So pietro, scp-055 AND scp-579 saved humanity from the entity by resetting the timeline. And making a newer version without the entity. Honestly it's up to you to decide which one is canon scp-5000 is the most unique story I have ever read.
The thing I dont understand is that this "entity" influences humanity, yet there are a plethora of SCP's that experiences the things that make us "human". Pain, fear, love, joy etc. Would that mean this "entity" influences these things as well? If so, than there's no stopping it. Perhaps that also means that what the Foundation believes is a lie, because there are beings that are clearly not human that experience these feelings. Perhaps something else is influencing the Foundation to fight this thing, and the "terrible and horrific" thing that the psychospace "entity" has planned for us is not so terrible, but is being portrayed as such in order to stop it. There are always two sides to a coin, it seems.
You seem to have forgotten one key part from the story. Nearly all human or human sympathising anomalies were terminated by the foundation, before they undertook the plan. Those entities were part of the human psychospace as well.
Could also be the fate worse than death planned by the entitiy itself. Kinda like how in eternals we had enough sentients live and die to give enough mind energy for the egg to hatch. The same way this entity might have extracted all the power it wanted from us, so now it wants to get rid of us, and it does that by manipulating the foundation
i hate how no one is even pointing out how good this voice acting is. out of 1,236 comments (at the time of posting this comment), i have seen a total of none talking about how good the voice acting is. you are holy at voice acting. the ending was so good mostly because of how much emotion the voice acting had. thanks for being so good at what you do
the full ouroboros cycle needs like 3 hours (with 001 the broken god and 001 the children and 001 atonement because you will need to understand this 3 to understand the ouroboros cycle) atached to it if not it will take like 2 hours to explain 001 the way it ends

I like to think that, we, we are the entity, we can control the SCP foundation by creating anomalies, and the people in the cannon want to escape us, but thanks to pietro, we won just a thought
Seeing the idea of humanoids scps and friendly scps being killed is just absolutely devastating. I wonder how they managed to kill certain anomaly like Kane and Able both essentially immortal and one cant even be harmed I wonder what happened to the little girl. Believed to be the rider of SCP-682
my theor is that they fake it simple one it a multiverse so every choice created new universe/reality this also mean the entity can't do it job fully unless the author say the entity is a multiverse being also Scp universe is a multiverse
Cain was most likely left alone because for the most part, he’s a pacifist, he wouldn’t intervene in any way and coming near Cain would just result in all personnel being immediately killed Able would absolutely slaughter all of the personnel till he’s finally out for the count, then he’d simply just come back. The box was made by the Scarlet King, it can’t be destroyed, so Able always comes back. It also seems he was very cooperative with humanity for some reason, assisting the UNGOC with trying to destroy that project mentioned
SCP-5000 is my favorite SCP on the entire site it has such a unique telling on a SCP file it feels more like a tale I love every bit of it and the contest it competed and won in
3 years later I ask you have you read or listened to SCP The Stars do Not Wait For You? It makes me cry every time. Imo it's the exact opposite of this one but somehow the exact same.

@@gibertofreitas7300 the cycle of life and death would continue. With IT getting stronger forever until actual end of existence. To be specific. IT will die or become weaker if everything dies.
What we know is that the entity has a plan. That plan made the 05 council AND the ethics committee unanimously agree that the entire destruction of humanity is a mercy and the better option. These people had devoted their entire lives to the protection of humanity, and decided it was better to undo all their work and kill everyone. Whatever the entity has planned, it managed to win. The foundation couldn't stop it, as it used Pietro to save itself. From what i can tell, this is the bad ending. All of humanity dying is also a bad ending, but one that the 05 and ethics committee agreed was preferable. @@gibertofreitas7300
There’s still a few unanswered questions and other stuff but my main question is. What the hell is going on with Ross. How come he’s showing kindness and empathy still even after being cured? Also it’s likely the entity edited some of the files, twisting the events to perhaps manipulate the humans who see the document afterwards (since it redacted what the agent said it knows this will be read again).
The site Ross worked at was one that was built to be immune to CK class reality restructuring scenarios. They had to kill everyone there because they couldn’t be cured due to that fact.
Armageddon is more accurate for an scp event where two different races from other worlds meet in Earth and clash against each other while humans are stuck in between doing their best to escape it. In my opinion.
Man, the way you voiced Pietro is just brilliant. You managed to express his emotions, loss and frustration very well. Congrats. I hope one day you become a big name in this field
Perhaps the reason 579 is completely unknown is because the entity within the psychospace has some kind of an attachment to it; It’d make sense given both seemingly have the ability to erase memories of their existences.
I like how most likely the foundation figured out that the suit was missing and had to resort to mass producing 173s in order to find it and eliminate whoever is inside
I've seen both this version and the one from the infographic channel and I have to say this version is FAR MORE interesting, FAR MORE enticing, FAR MORE informative and I would prefer this version any day
@@AkinlabiStClair You probably didn't watch the whole video, my explanation will be a spolier for any one seeing, so click at your own risk. If you finished, this is an explanation SPOILER FOR PEOPLE WHO DIDN"T FINISH WATCHING BELOW Basically, there is some entity that connects all human minds togther, and can influence them, and what they percive. The SCP foundation finds out this, and realizes what chaos it can cause. Imagine endless torture, but worse that will not end untill everyone dies, or huamity is lost. The researchers developed a way to lose humaity, making them immune from the entity's anamolous effects. With less people under its control, it's effects weaken. A more merciful way was to die, no matter how painful or sickening the death, it would be much better then what the entity can do. Because the foundation can't begin to understand what events it can make true. So the SCP foundation wanted to realease all SCPS, and kill everyone, including themselves. Those who were not considered human did not feel emotions, nor did they feel pain. They were then not influcecned by the entity, and had to destroy humanity as a merciful death. This immunity could not be done to all of the world because internet access had crashed, and it did not work on some people. The soldiers were stabbed to do a check incase the entity sent a person to stop it. The broken radio was funcitonless, but the entity influcned Pietro making him believe that it was functional. It implemented the goal of bringing 055 to 579. The entity knew that bringing these SCPS together would reverse all what the SCP foundation did. Basically controlling all of humaity in an endless cycle of despair. No one knows how it was created, or why it was doing these things. Also SCP-055 was the entity, not anything else. It can control memories, making him delete files. It was also the reason he felt so good, becuase it made controlled him to feel better. This is why he said he was the only one with file access, the entity made him delete them, and made him forget about deleting them. The reason the effects of the enetity began to slow down, was due to less people being alive, making it lose more power. When he reached deserts, he saw foundation personel fighting off a creature. This creature is the entity manifisted in the human world, in a weaker state, due to how many people have died. The black emptiness was the gate it used to get here, warping the world in the proccess. The foundation tried to kill it while it could, but the outcome is unknown. He ends up combining the scps, undoing everything that happened (due to a reason only the entity knows why. The entity controlled him to save itself, undoing the work the SCP foundation tried to do. The entity then resumed control of everyone and wiped there memeory of the attemped merciful genocide. TLDR: An entity with bad intentions in store controls people. The SCP foundation relaized the only way, was to kill everyone, even death by SCP was more merciful then the entity. Pietro was controlled by the entity, forcing him to combine SCP-055 with SCP-579, which for some reason undid everything, allowing the entity free range to do whatever. Ultimately Pietro screwed humaity from a merciful death.
@@AkinlabiStClair Think about it. The O-5 Council, and the entire ethics committe, believed it was for the best of the universe to erase the thing from existance Killing humanity was the good result. The thing convinced pietro to go and turn back time, so that the SCP foundation didn't find out about it existing. If all of 0-5, and the Ethics committe, believed that, the best way, was to remove humanity, than let it live
I know right what the fuck. I'm just trying to do my homework and now I'm having an existential crisis. Fucking hell I need to go read something wholesome after this or else I wouldn't be able to get anything done for the rest of the day....
Pietro's journey was so cool and relatable. The unlikely... hero? That ending was awesome as per usual SCP stories are greater than most modern fiction lmao.
The best part of this whole thing is when he’s taking about the effects of the SCPs when they were released, and then the only thing said about 682 is just “released”
Hey, this might not be possible since there’s not much information available, but can you make one on 579? What it really is, what can it do, why it doesn’t fit with the briefcase
The briefcase is 055, 579 is possibly that creature in the psychosphere, by making 055 go to 579, he reverses time and space to another timeline, like endgame
One thing I wonder, was the entity's plan _actually_ bad? The SCP leaders are, well, fanatics, deciding what humanity should know and what it should not, hoarding all sorts of knowledge for themselves, and SCP-179 has indicated that they are, well, not exactly the good guys. The foundation, upon learning of the self evident truth of 5000 decided to exterminate humanity rather than tell them, indicating they were fully aware that not everyone would agree genocide was the better option and, like their whole mission, made the decision for humanity. Given their track record with many of their other 'humanity can not know this!', I suspect that 5000 was not malevolent at all, just counter to the zealotry of the SCP leadership
There is quite literally no fate worse than the complete extinction of humanity. Existing, in any form, is preferable. Foundation definitely are the bad guys in this story. The entity might be malevolent, but species wide self termination is not a solution.
Its been months when I read about this story, I didnt understand it first, until your 3rd video on this scp, I decided to search it up, and I gotta say, I was shocked and impressed on how the author made it confusing at first and made the ending bitter too, props to that Author!
I don't feel like "The entity" is evil, especially because if the foundation did have everyones best interests in mind, wouldn't there be a much faster/easier way of killing everyone than to just send out ll these anomalies that would cause so much pain and suffering, why would they spend so much time and effort trying to invade ganzir if they where convinced so easily that they should omnicide. This is just my head-cannon though, and i'm open to others opinions
Probably a plot hole. Its that simple. Although I suppose that nuclear radiation would be a lot harder to navigate for the MTF, as they'd all have to have hazmat suits.
@@pokest45-pz52 no. The entity is hinted to have plans so horrific that they have to kill it no matter the cost. Since the cure can't be effective 100% of the time as the mtf soldier was still influenced by the entity then that means the only sure way to kill the entity is through eradicating humanity. It was the only choice and considering the ethics commitee unanimously voted then that means it was literally more ethical for omnicide to occur then to let the entiy stay in the psychospace.
You should consider that there are groups of interest which would certaintly have spies within the foundation, so they have prepared a countermeasure for every one attempt of world destruction the foundation could pull off, however making the enemy fight on multiple fronts against extremely varied attack forces is much more effective in war. The issues are the GOIs, not the civillians
Okay, I have an theory. That entity is either us the viewers or the various authors or at least an manifestation of both of them. We want the stories to continue, to see it end or a various ending of either one of the stories or to the whole SCP multi-verse. Then the Foundation of SCP-5000 for whatever reason finally broke the fourth wall, it has seen the abyss that we viewers and authors will throw them into with the stories we have created. Leading to this event with SCP-5000. Well this has become interesting, cause this is a possibility with SCP multiverses cause why the duck not. It fits into the stories, cause we have either seen/watch/written them and sadly condemned them to their fates. Gods this is slowly going into the simulation theory, that I have and forever will dread if that is true. Well that my ranting with a theory is over with, this is an amazing video especially with the explanation towards the end. This is why I will always love this channel. Anyways have a Happy News and many blessings towards you and your channel.

Y'all remember the greek story of Pandora. Among the things that escape from the box, curses and diseases etc Hope is listed. In the end the box is closed before Hope can leave, but there is some implied context that Hope itself is a curse. The briefcase could be Pandora's pithos with how is gives 'peptalks'. Idk, just thought it shared some similarities to the greek myth and wanted to share.
now that I know the explanation that probably means that other realities have this entity in them if not all. If some do then that's a few(though infinite) paths that lead to scp 5000 which would mean that there's still another infinite amount of realities that aren't affected by this entity so that still brings hope. But if that entity is a rule that every reality adheres to then this is really really fucking sad that eventually all time lines would either lead to project pneuma or the entities "things planned that are worse then death"
Hey on the bright side, this body gets to another universe that can use Pietro’s logs to decide on whether or not to kill humanity Who knows, maybe they’ll get it right
But, at least from what I understood, the entity creates empathy and pain and stuff so for certain realities to not have this entity within them means they have a different type of humans, right? Humans that went through history without feeling a lot of things the entity would've allowed them to feel.
@@nycto5335 Or in THAT universe, emotions WERE caused by the entity, but that doesn’t mean that ALL universes need an Entity (after all, science pretty easily explains why things like fear and joy exist within humans IRL)
@@nycto5335 exactly why I find this scp super fucking depressing, Imo it's a lose-lose. Though that may just be because I haven't experienced what being emotionless and feeling no is like, maybe it's better then day to day struggles with happiness and stuff in between.
what if its a rule that all realities adhere to but its grounds aren't set in stone, as if something like in this timeline it's considered a necessity and is the reason all good is in the world or whatever, while in the 5000 timeline its the complete opposite?
I think that the reason why Dr. Bright isn’t affected by file 2 is because he already isn’t human, mind, body, and soul. He’s effectively became his own being that’s stuck within the amulet. It would make sense if Dr. Bright went to help bring SCP-55 to SCP-579 but as he’s not being compelled to join it would indicate that he’s not under the entities control.
There is an amazing explanation about SCP universe in this please hear me out: I belive there is a lot explained in SCP 990, a man in the suit from dreams, he gives us some information that all tie in here. He says he's not the bad guy. Some non-existing SCP from the future will be once it's born. That SCP would be the end goal of the entity within humanity. He says that we are not in our place, refering to the entity that influences us. And then, the best one, he says that the main motivation for SCP 001 is love. In my mind, SCP 001, whatever it is, was meant to be a source of all SCPs. This would mean that the reason there are so many apocalyptic threats in this universe, is because SCP 001 is desperately trying to mercy-kill humanity. The last thing he mentions is that O5-2 is right and also tragically wrong. If anyone could point me to the part of SCP that could hint what this means, i'd appreciate it.
The quotes you're mentioning is from the (shitty) "past and future" 001 where SCP 001 are a bunch of utopian humans on a planet far away that forces other humans to suffer on 9 moons orbiting that planet in order to maintain their utopian society in a weird "parent and child" relationship. They're the source of the anomalies because they're using them as an incentive to make humans go back to their moon (the planet of hands). The part about the "not in our place" was referring to how humans weren't on their correct planet, with their home planet being the planet of hands that they escaped from millennia ago. The bit about 001 being about love is referring to the "parent and child" mentality they have that Earth humans must suffer for their utopian society to go on, and the last bit about O5-2 is about how she stopped the council from any action against 001 because a future telling scp said that there was a future for humanity, so she was right in that sense, but she was wrong as the bright future she saw was only for the Utopian humans, with only suffering for the earth humans
Pietro: Where are you heading? Bright: Eh, 1437. Gonna see if I can't piss into another Universe. Then throw this Amulet down there and see where I wake up. My favorite part.

@@Jack-yo2bc I'm pretty sure the cure would work on everyone (unless I missed something). The issue is that if they announced this thing's existence and a solution to rid humanity of it, the entity would have most likely gone through with its plans. We can see this during the interrogation portion of the video where the two GOC that were questioning the foundation member were heard screaming in agony after being told of its existence.
This is one of the only SCPs that goes into 'too bleak, stopped caring' territory for me. It's well written and it's kind of interesting as a thought piece, but I really just checked out once the explanation had some grounds. Good job bringing it to life, can tell a lot went into this.
the GOC are good, they just have different ethics compared to the foundation and if you look at it from the GOCs position the foundation is completely immoral and violates the human rights set by the UN
He probably realized something was up just by looking at the soulless, emotionless expressions of the personnel. Probably the first “Normal” thing he’s seen in centuries at that point.

9:30 gave me chills. I don't know why.. I guess it was this thought of whatever entity that emerged from the corpse of that person was so horrific to cause such panic at the death of an individual..
A lot of scp's actually follow this format of tons of recordings to make a tale, one of my favorites and in my opinion, one of the best, SCP-1730, also does this.
To be fair, SCPs are ultimately always meant to have a kind of story to them, what's the point of having all these objects and ideas left to themselves?
We actually aren't sure of that. We don't know what the entity is or what it wants, honestly, from little communication we see from it... and what the effects of losing it are... I'm saying this was the good ending. The foundation has proven to be overzealous in destroying what it cannot contain afterall.
@@CM-hx5dp that entity is what caused empathy,after the foundation studied the entity a little more the ETHICS FUCKING COMITEE decided that wiping out humanity was an ethical solution as the entity's end goal for humanity was bad enough for it to happen. If this isn't the bad ending the i don't know what is.
The foundation by itself couldn't technically defeated all the GoI at all,they might be able to win against the GOC if they're lucky since they are equal,but with the CI,SH, doctor wondertainment and all GoI then they will lose anyway.Or the entity is making the foundation going genocide against everyone because I won't let myself being discovered and possibly die if I was an entity that can controlled all of humanity and can stop even thinking about project pneuma or it could be like a cognitohazard and make the foundation believed that it is evil
@@komradeyuri5548 this was the good ending because the entity that took over humanity, who had way worse intentions still is going to happen. If the ethics committee saw this coming and knew that killing everyone was the right thing to do, then whatever entity this is is a worse fate.
This is probably my favorite scp story and my favorite video about this story. It’s smart, nails the subtly, funny at times, intriguing, full of lore, heartbreaking, and of course; horrifying.

In my eyes as well, I feel like SCP-049 (The Plague Doctor) was also curing humanity of this entity, by killing them and reanimating them as zombies. 049 notices his cure isn't perfect yet, making zombies but he still says it's done the job.

Unless, they try to prevent the entity, from gaining information.
The Foundation has been known to be tight on info .
If there was even a slight chance of an unaffected human to slip by, and spotted uncensored info into anything relating to their plans of orchestrating doomsday, it could spread it to the GOC and other groups to make a counter offense .
It being the Entity in the Psycho-Space.
It could be the entity blocking out information itself, not the SCP foundation. Just as it did during the interrogation.
Memetic influence perhaps
Good point.
1 GOC agent found out,and the entire organization got ruined.
Just spreading that information to other organizations could have been more effective than anything else.

So what you´re saying is that entity/SCP MAY have tricked the Foudation by making a plan worse than extinction. So in a countermeasure the foudation made a mass killing plan. But why this SCP would make such a complicated plan, if it needs the human body alive for whatever reason?
Eh, that ignores the reason it leaves to the existence behind so many SCP’s that seem to be so obviously focused on the destruction or death of most if not all of humanity. Something’s waging war on that deity, and we’re just it’s puppets that are prolonging the inevitable.
Our trains of thought are practically completely guided by this deity, including our will to live. Without it, you can’t even imagine just how we’re intended to think. How our minds would work. It’s something beyond any understanding. All doubt and hope for a misunderstanding is just the deity speaking.

It explains why humans are the sole target to many other entities
That's what 682 truly means when it said it hates **humanity**
It doesn't hate humans as a species, he just hates that entity that causes "humanity".
SCP 049 is trying his best to save humanity, but he just can't do it cause he's fighting something that doesn't physically exist. He's a physician trying to do a psychologists job.
Scarlet King hate modernity, cause modernity is simply humans attempt at making our lives better due to empathy. Scarlet King is trying to make everyone lose empathy in an attempt to fight the creature.
Hell, all of space wants humanity gone. But not "humans". Just that godforsaken entity that gives us our humanity.
I mean there are plot holes with the plauge doctor. Bit its cool headcannon
@@coocoo3336 There are other plot holes, but I get stuck on one particular point. It actually drives down to the notions applying to pain primarily, and empathy secondarily.
Regarding pain, it's merely an application of emotion to the data associated with harm. You can't ignore it. It protects the body... So realistically, that would be a natural component of the species (as it is for all species capable of responding to stimuli in real time). So, that part doesn't quite connect for me directly.
Regarding empathy, that's a social adaptation. Similar to above, you see it to varying degrees in social species.
I'm not sure humanity legitimately lost. Do I think the Foundation was legitimately convinced of the horrific aspects? Yes. Does that mean they weren't convinced by something else of a lie? No, it does not mean that. Could be yes or no...
So is this a happy or sad ending? Both. Killing the patient to cure the disease is rarely the right way to go, however. So either way, for there to be such a thing as hope, the Foundation of that timeline had to lose
Plague doctor doesn't work, all of humanity is effected by the entity in 5000, not everyone has the pestilence. I feel like all the people who think the plague doctor is linked to this, either haven't actually read 049, or haven't read 049 in a while and have forgotten all of the interview parts.

Since Dr Bright's consciousness is connected to the space that lets the entity live and Bright can never die, wouldn't the entity live on with Dr Bright's consciousness inside the amulet even if this Pietro doesn't exist, they can never do anything about an indestructible amulet afterall. So in the end, there will always be one last "human" conscious remaining no matter what the foundation does.
I don’t think that would happen because the explanation said that Dr.Bright is also technically not human as he is just a soul trapped in the amulet and being controlled by another entity. If he was human and met the same circumstances as other people, he would have been affected by the cure in file 2. Since its not affecting him I think dr bright is just outside the control of the entity

If empathy, pain, love, etc. aren’t supposed to be present within humans, then who introduces it within other species that experience the same emotions such as elephants, great apes, and cetaceans? Do they share the psychoscape or do they have their own psychoscape being influenced by the same entity or a similar entity?
Hi Jack
@CertifiedKJ Ah, human arrogance is quite the plague.
Elephants, most canines, most cetaceans, great apes, some parrots, and most monkeys are all empathic. Elephants have been known to make art and mourn their dead. There’s a species of Macaque that dip sweet potatoes into saltwater to make them taste better. There was a Gorilla by the name Koko who understood sign language and had a higher IQ than the average human. There was an Orca who carried her dead child’s body over hundreds of miles as she grieved. Octopi are known to make shelter, and beavers are literally known _for_ it. On the topic of Octopi, they’ve also been known to hold grudges, as do tigers who know the concept of revenge. Great apes, elephants, crows, monkeys, and octopi use tools. There were instances in which birds of prey intentionally spread fires to weed out prey animals. Chimpanzees have been known to have wars. There are at least a dozen species, including magpies, who recognize their reflections in the mirror. PLENTY of mammals exhibit homosexuality. There’s evidence of behavior analogous to racism in Orcas. Seahorses sing to their mates under moonlight. Dolphins have verbal language, even giving each other names, as well as having sex for reasons other than reproduction. The list goes on for miles, honestly.
@@purplehaze2358 Koko couldn't "speak" sign language. There is an excellent documentary exposing the abuse it went through for what essentially amounts to clout. Do you really think an ape is actually capable of giving a monologue about climate change and environmentalism while dying?

"There's a hole in the floor with an answer waiting in it": The final destination where he jumped before throwing 055
"I've never been to Versailles before": he said he travelled half the world, so perhaps 079 is actually in France?
What about "I just want to be loved"?
Foundation: execute order 66
MTF: yes my lord
There is actually another theory about scp-5000. Which is that scp-579 was actually bringing pietro and scp-055 to make a NEW universe to eradicate the entity from the phyico-space. And make a new timeline without the entity present in the human phyico-space. So pietro, scp-055 AND scp-579 saved humanity from the entity by resetting the timeline. And making a newer version without the entity.

The thing I dont understand is that this "entity" influences humanity, yet there are a plethora of SCP's that experiences the things that make us "human".
Pain, fear, love, joy etc.
Would that mean this "entity" influences these things as well? If so, than there's no stopping it. Perhaps that also means that what the Foundation believes is a lie, because there are beings that are clearly not human that experience these feelings.
Perhaps something else is influencing the Foundation to fight this thing, and the "terrible and horrific" thing that the psychospace "entity" has planned for us is not so terrible, but is being portrayed as such in order to stop it.
There are always two sides to a coin, it seems.
maybe
You seem to have forgotten one key part from the story. Nearly all human or human sympathising anomalies were terminated by the foundation, before they undertook the plan. Those entities were part of the human psychospace as well.
Could also be the fate worse than death planned by the entitiy itself. Kinda like how in eternals we had enough sentients live and die to give enough mind energy for the egg to hatch. The same way this entity might have extracted all the power it wanted from us, so now it wants to get rid of us, and it does that by manipulating the foundation

scp-055 was the last line of defense

@@gibertofreitas7300 the cycle of life and death would continue.
With IT getting stronger forever until actual end of existence.
To be specific.
IT will die or become weaker if everything dies.
What we know is that the entity has a plan. That plan made the 05 council AND the ethics committee unanimously agree that the entire destruction of humanity is a mercy and the better option. These people had devoted their entire lives to the protection of humanity, and decided it was better to undo all their work and kill everyone. Whatever the entity has planned, it managed to win. The foundation couldn't stop it, as it used Pietro to save itself. From what i can tell, this is the bad ending. All of humanity dying is also a bad ending, but one that the 05 and ethics committee agreed was preferable. @@gibertofreitas7300
I read the same dumb reddit post too. Going to be honest this entity does not seem like a problem.
There’s still a few unanswered questions and other stuff but my main question is.
What the hell is going on with Ross. How come he’s showing kindness and empathy still even after being cured?
Also it’s likely the entity edited some of the files, twisting the events to perhaps manipulate the humans who see the document afterwards (since it redacted what the agent said it knows this will be read again).
It probably edited the file because it doesn’t want humanity to know that it exists
The site Ross worked at was one that was built to be immune to CK class reality restructuring scenarios. They had to kill everyone there because they couldn’t be cured due to that fact.
here's a new name for SCP-5000
"The apocalypse"
"Armageddon"
"why"
it was always "why"
@@sentientlemonbattery

@@shadowfox8084 i wonder how,i wonder why,the foundation is making everyone die why the fuck am I here
Armageddon is more accurate for an scp event where two different races from other worlds meet in Earth and clash against each other while humans are stuck in between doing their best to escape it. In my opinion.
What about the entity? Does SCP-5000-Ω work?
Man, the way you voiced Pietro is just brilliant. You managed to express his emotions, loss and frustration very well. Congrats.
I hope one day you become a big name in this field
Perhaps the reason 579 is completely unknown is because the entity within the psychospace has some kind of an attachment to it; It’d make sense given both seemingly have the ability to erase memories of their existences.
I like how most likely the foundation figured out that the suit was missing and had to resort to mass producing 173s in order to find it and eliminate whoever is inside
I've seen both this version and the one from the infographic channel and I have to say this version is FAR MORE interesting, FAR MORE enticing, FAR MORE informative and I would prefer this version any day
Pietro ended up betraying humanity, F in the chat
I don't understand
Not really
@@AkinlabiStClair You probably didn't watch the whole video, my explanation will be a spolier for any one seeing, so click at your own risk. If you finished, this is an explanation
SPOILER FOR PEOPLE WHO DIDN"T FINISH WATCHING BELOW
Basically, there is some entity that connects all human minds togther, and can influence them, and what they percive. The SCP foundation finds out this, and realizes what chaos it can cause. Imagine endless torture, but worse that will not end untill everyone dies, or huamity is lost. The researchers developed a way to lose humaity, making them immune from the entity's anamolous effects. With less people under its control, it's effects weaken. A more merciful way was to die, no matter how painful or sickening the death, it would be much better then what the entity can do. Because the foundation can't begin to understand what events it can make true. So the SCP foundation wanted to realease all SCPS, and kill everyone, including themselves. Those who were not considered human did not feel emotions, nor did they feel pain. They were then not influcecned by the entity, and had to destroy humanity as a merciful death. This immunity could not be done to all of the world because internet access had crashed, and it did not work on some people. The soldiers were stabbed to do a check incase the entity sent a person to stop it. The broken radio was funcitonless, but the entity influcned Pietro making him believe that it was functional. It implemented the goal of bringing 055 to 579. The entity knew that bringing these SCPS together would reverse all what the SCP foundation did. Basically controlling all of humaity in an endless cycle of despair. No one knows how it was created, or why it was doing these things. Also SCP-055 was the entity, not anything else. It can control memories, making him delete files. It was also the reason he felt so good, becuase it made controlled him to feel better. This is why he said he was the only one with file access, the entity made him delete them, and made him forget about deleting them. The reason the effects of the enetity began to slow down, was due to less people being alive, making it lose more power. When he reached deserts, he saw foundation personel fighting off a creature. This creature is the entity manifisted in the human world, in a weaker state, due to how many people have died. The black emptiness was the gate it used to get here, warping the world in the proccess. The foundation tried to kill it while it could, but the outcome is unknown. He ends up combining the scps, undoing everything that happened (due to a reason only the entity knows why. The entity controlled him to save itself, undoing the work the SCP foundation tried to do. The entity then resumed control of everyone and wiped there memeory of the attemped merciful genocide.
TLDR: An entity with bad intentions in store controls people. The SCP foundation relaized the only way, was to kill everyone, even death by SCP was more merciful then the entity. Pietro was controlled by the entity, forcing him to combine SCP-055 with SCP-579, which for some reason undid everything, allowing the entity free range to do whatever. Ultimately Pietro screwed humaity from a merciful death.
@@AkinlabiStClair Think about it.
The O-5 Council, and the entire ethics committe, believed it was for the best of the universe to erase the thing from existance
Killing humanity was the good result.
The thing convinced pietro to go and turn back time, so that the SCP foundation didn't find out about it existing.
If all of 0-5, and the Ethics committe, believed that, the best way, was to remove humanity, than let it live
@@ale-xsantos1078 yeah, he screwed humanity, if you didnt watch all the way through, I advise you do, major plot twist.

Pietro's journey was so cool and relatable. The unlikely... hero? That ending was awesome as per usual SCP stories are greater than most modern fiction lmao.
The best part of this whole thing is when he’s taking about the effects of the SCPs when they were released, and then the only thing said about 682 is just “released”
Hey, this might not be possible since there’s not much information available, but can you make one on 579? What it really is, what can it do, why it doesn’t fit with the briefcase
The briefcase is 055, 579 is possibly that creature in the psychosphere, by making 055 go to 579, he reverses time and space to another timeline, like endgame

One thing I wonder, was the entity's plan _actually_ bad? The SCP leaders are, well, fanatics, deciding what humanity should know and what it should not, hoarding all sorts of knowledge for themselves, and SCP-179 has indicated that they are, well, not exactly the good guys.
The foundation, upon learning of the self evident truth of 5000 decided to exterminate humanity rather than tell them, indicating they were fully aware that not everyone would agree genocide was the better option and, like their whole mission, made the decision for humanity. Given their track record with many of their other 'humanity can not know this!', I suspect that 5000 was not malevolent at all, just counter to the zealotry of the SCP leadership
There is quite literally no fate worse than the complete extinction of humanity. Existing, in any form, is preferable. Foundation definitely are the bad guys in this story. The entity might be malevolent, but species wide self termination is not a solution.
Spoken like a true Chaos Insurgent!
One answer, 2718.
or whatever the dammerung project is.
To be far they are ok with 4494 so if a scp is good for humanly they let it be
Yes officer, this guy right here
Its been months when I read about this story, I didnt understand it first, until your 3rd video on this scp, I decided to search it up, and I gotta say, I was shocked and impressed on how the author made it confusing at first and made the ending bitter too, props to that Author!
This story needs a paperback edition with a timeline layout charting Pietro's journey, his journal entries unredacted, etc.
I don't feel like "The entity" is evil, especially because if the foundation did have everyones best interests in mind, wouldn't there be a much faster/easier way of killing everyone than to just send out ll these anomalies that would cause so much pain and suffering, why would they spend so much time and effort trying to invade ganzir if they where convinced so easily that they should omnicide.
This is just my head-cannon though, and i'm open to others opinions
Probably a plot hole. Its that simple. Although I suppose that nuclear radiation would be a lot harder to navigate for the MTF, as they'd all have to have hazmat suits.
@@pokest45-pz52 no. The entity is hinted to have plans so horrific that they have to kill it no matter the cost. Since the cure can't be effective 100% of the time as the mtf soldier was still influenced by the entity then that means the only sure way to kill the entity is through eradicating humanity. It was the only choice and considering the ethics commitee unanimously voted then that means it was literally more ethical for omnicide to occur then to let the entiy stay in the psychospace.
You should consider that there are groups of interest which would certaintly have spies within the foundation, so they have prepared a countermeasure for every one attempt of world destruction the foundation could pull off, however making the enemy fight on multiple fronts against extremely varied attack forces is much more effective in war. The issues are the GOIs, not the civillians
@@tafazzi-on-discord Serpent hands,CI and GOC are probably the main threat
@@Error-hx9ze I always saw MC&D as way more powerful than the Chaos Insurgency (i think of the Ouroboros Cycle as non canon given how bad it is)
Okay, I have an theory. That entity is either us the viewers or the various authors or at least an manifestation of both of them. We want the stories to continue, to see it end or a various ending of either one of the stories or to the whole SCP multi-verse. Then the Foundation of SCP-5000 for whatever reason finally broke the fourth wall, it has seen the abyss that we viewers and authors will throw them into with the stories we have created. Leading to this event with SCP-5000. Well this has become interesting, cause this is a possibility with SCP multiverses cause why the duck not. It fits into the stories, cause we have either seen/watch/written them and sadly condemned them to their fates. Gods this is slowly going into the simulation theory, that I have and forever will dread if that is true. Well that my ranting with a theory is over with, this is an amazing video especially with the explanation towards the end. This is why I will always love this channel. Anyways have a Happy News and many blessings towards you and your channel.

Y'all remember the greek story of Pandora. Among the things that escape from the box, curses and diseases etc Hope is listed. In the end the box is closed before Hope can leave, but there is some implied context that Hope itself is a curse. The briefcase could be Pandora's pithos with how is gives 'peptalks'. Idk, just thought it shared some similarities to the greek myth and wanted to share.
now that I know the explanation that probably means that other realities have this entity in them if not all.
If some do then that's a few(though infinite) paths that lead to scp 5000 which would mean that there's still another infinite amount of realities that aren't affected by this entity so that still brings hope. But if that entity is a rule that every reality adheres to then this is really really fucking sad that eventually all time lines would either lead to project pneuma or the entities "things planned that are worse then death"
Hey on the bright side, this body gets to another universe that can use Pietro’s logs to decide on whether or not to kill humanity
Who knows, maybe they’ll get it right
But, at least from what I understood, the entity creates empathy and pain and stuff so for certain realities to not have this entity within them means they have a different type of humans, right? Humans that went through history without feeling a lot of things the entity would've allowed them to feel.
@@nycto5335
Or in THAT universe, emotions WERE caused by the entity, but that doesn’t mean that ALL universes need an Entity (after all, science pretty easily explains why things like fear and joy exist within humans IRL)
@@nycto5335 exactly why I find this scp super fucking depressing, Imo it's a lose-lose. Though that may just be because I haven't experienced what being emotionless and feeling no is like, maybe it's better then day to day struggles with happiness and stuff in between.
what if its a rule that all realities adhere to but its grounds aren't set in stone, as if something like in this timeline it's considered a necessity and is the reason all good is in the world or whatever, while in the 5000 timeline its the complete opposite?

"huh, why are those MTF looking at us, like that?"
I think that the reason why Dr. Bright isn’t affected by file 2 is because he already isn’t human, mind, body, and soul. He’s effectively became his own being that’s stuck within the amulet. It would make sense if Dr. Bright went to help bring SCP-55 to SCP-579 but as he’s not being compelled to join it would indicate that he’s not under the entities control.
Wait so "When day breaks" is the thing that is planned for humanity by this entity?
Way to create actual emotion at the end of the story! Great choice of music! Actually felt like you were writing it.
There is an amazing explanation about SCP universe in this please hear me out:
I belive there is a lot explained in SCP 990, a man in the suit from dreams, he gives us some information that all tie in here.
He says he's not the bad guy. Some non-existing SCP from the future will be once it's born. That SCP would be the end goal of the entity within humanity.
He says that we are not in our place, refering to the entity that influences us.
And then, the best one, he says that the main motivation for SCP 001 is love. In my mind, SCP 001, whatever it is, was meant to be a source of all SCPs. This would mean that the reason there are so many apocalyptic threats in this universe, is because SCP 001 is desperately trying to mercy-kill humanity.
The last thing he mentions is that O5-2 is right and also tragically wrong. If anyone could point me to the part of SCP that could hint what this means, i'd appreciate it.
The quotes you're mentioning is from the (shitty) "past and future" 001 where SCP 001 are a bunch of utopian humans on a planet far away that forces other humans to suffer on 9 moons orbiting that planet in order to maintain their utopian society in a weird "parent and child" relationship. They're the source of the anomalies because they're using them as an incentive to make humans go back to their moon (the planet of hands). The part about the "not in our place" was referring to how humans weren't on their correct planet, with their home planet being the planet of hands that they escaped from millennia ago. The bit about 001 being about love is referring to the "parent and child" mentality they have that Earth humans must suffer for their utopian society to go on, and the last bit about O5-2 is about how she stopped the council from any action against 001 because a future telling scp said that there was a future for humanity, so she was right in that sense, but she was wrong as the bright future she saw was only for the Utopian humans, with only suffering for the earth humans
Pietro: Where are you heading?
Bright: Eh, 1437. Gonna see if I can't piss into another Universe. Then throw this Amulet down there and see where I wake up.
My favorite part.
Why is it comforting knowing Doctor Bright survived this mess? Even after the foundation when out of their way to try and terminate all human SCPs.
You are truly an extremely talented reader, or voice actor, or whatever you consider yourself. So much emotion, I can picture pietro's face when you read his lines. Amazing work man! (Subcribed)
Scp 5000 is what really got me into the scp universe. So i love seeing more content about it.
Why not “cure” every human being like they did to foundation personnel or is that process limited.
It didn't work on everyone and they needed it gone from every single human so killing everyone was the only solution
@@Jack-yo2bc could've done it with everyone and killed the people the cure didn't work on.
Ya no the entity could of influenced world governments and destroy the foundation
Huge difference in scale
@@Jack-yo2bc I'm pretty sure the cure would work on everyone (unless I missed something). The issue is that if they announced this thing's existence and a solution to rid humanity of it, the entity would have most likely gone through with its plans.
We can see this during the interrogation portion of the video where the two GOC that were questioning the foundation member were heard screaming in agony after being told of its existence.
Just realized that with the dates, a lot is explained about last year
Dr.Bright still being a chad even in the apocalypse
This is one of the only SCPs that goes into 'too bleak, stopped caring' territory for me. It's well written and it's kind of interesting as a thought piece, but I really just checked out once the explanation had some grounds. Good job bringing it to life, can tell a lot went into this.
It was kinda nice Pietro and Doctor Bright had a good talk.
The Alternative reality where the GOC are the Good guys.
They are good guys, just preferring to deal with anomalies in different way
I thought they always were
the GOC are good, they just have different ethics compared to the foundation and if you look at it from the GOCs position the foundation is completely immoral and violates the human rights set by the UN
False, rewatch the explanation. They're still technically the bad guys.
Mike Fluff, you didn't read the explanation did you?

He probably realized something was up just by looking at the soulless, emotionless expressions of the personnel. Probably the first “Normal” thing he’s seen in centuries at that point.

Remember:the foundation losing was the bad ending.
We actually aren't sure of that. We don't know what the entity is or what it wants, honestly, from little communication we see from it... and what the effects of losing it are... I'm saying this was the good ending. The foundation has proven to be overzealous in destroying what it cannot contain afterall.
@@CM-hx5dp that entity is what caused empathy,after the foundation studied the entity a little more the ETHICS FUCKING COMITEE decided that wiping out humanity was an ethical solution as the entity's end goal for humanity was bad enough for it to happen.
If this isn't the bad ending the i don't know what is.
The foundation by itself couldn't technically defeated all the GoI at all,they might be able to win against the GOC if they're lucky since they are equal,but with the CI,SH, doctor wondertainment and all GoI then they will lose anyway.Or the entity is making the foundation going genocide against everyone because I won't let myself being discovered and possibly die if I was an entity that can controlled all of humanity and can stop even thinking about project pneuma or it could be like a cognitohazard and make the foundation believed that it is evil
I prefer "the exploring series" take on it simply because it has a hopeful feel to it.
@@komradeyuri5548 this was the good ending because the entity that took over humanity, who had way worse intentions still is going to happen. If the ethics committee saw this coming and knew that killing everyone was the right thing to do, then whatever entity this is is a worse fate.
