@@jacobfreeman5444 From what I've read, it goes a little further than that - they _control_ the baseline and then pretend they're grounded in it, when in reality they're just keeping the benefits of the anomalous to themselves while civilization either gets the table scraps like a delicious Cocoa Puffs knockoff or Garfield lasting long enough to enter memehood, or just outright continuously suffers for their mistakes. They accidentally made entropy after screwing up in an international 001 proposal. Defending Earth from SCP-001-KLN (which was all for nothing, btw) destabilized political climates worldwide. They literally own memetic agents that bend time and space to make more Foundation personnel, made from an empire a British imperialist retconned into his racist fanfiction. It's implied that after the shot that killed JFK broke reality in another 001 proposal, the containment procedures in place are really an excuse to stifle human progress and call that "normal," as normal as a world without consensus can be. The very concept of color is the result of a containment failure - but SCP-6500 would argue that's how it was always meant to be. Speaking of which, 6500 tells off actions like those by proving to the Foundation just as much - they have no connection to the baseline because it's a farce made up by them so they can hog all the good stuff, and anomalies are a natural part of the universe. So as punishment for their hubris, all of them, not only the villains but also the ones that could uplift the world, are now gone.

And roland says "No. It was a lot worse than that."

At what point would the Foundation try to use a reality bender to make the blight cease to exist?

This is not the usual behaviour of the foundation. They maybe callous but never break the own principles. They are all about grand scheme of things, the greater good, not petty individual need for immortality out of a whim. This is like somebody watched Avatar 3d then copy paste it into an SCP page.

Exploring series: *Reading an scp entry about massive scale organism murder* People: "Yes, soothing voice go brr"

Alright, another The Exploring Series video! I love listening to these late at night while playing video games.

One detail that bothers me about this SCP is that this tree most likely has genome from both 682 and 106, which should have been analyzed first before applying their secretions to it. Although, considering that those were still alive and in (probably active) containment, making them less dangerous via the tree probably didn't work, especially 682.

"hm yes, lets try and use man who secretes a compound that decomposes and rots everything it touches, reinforces said compound it with the immortal regeneration properties of a lizard that hates all humanity and can essentially never die, and rub it on the tree that embodies all life on earth itself. great idea!" this guy is up there with that one mtf that thought pressing the big red button in the control room of an abandoned facility filled with dangerous creatures was a good idea.

every example of 'aeterns' seems to just describe animals. the animal kingdom has really simple definitions. more [redacted] characteristics would've gone a long way when describing an unknown kingdom of life. but a lot of newer articles seem allergic to blacking out their own info. cool idea in general tho, I like the parallels between the frontiers of genetic engineering and this setting

A dog breed is a specie. Big brains.

Seems weird that they had to source tusker DNA from the tree itself - there's no mention of the previous experiments with apples or chickens doing that, so it's possible the whole "preservative fluid" idea was completely unnecessary in the first place. Even if the human genome still rejected it, at least they wouldn't have needed Essence of Godzilla and Rotting Serial Killer.

“A system of cells, interlinked, within cells interlinked, within one stem, and dreadfully distinct..”

Appreciate your reading. I hate to say it, but man, the writing in this one is pretty awful. Like disregarding how comically greedy Muller seems to be, they want us to believe the foundation just jumps the gun on application? 4 years of testing on chimps and they're ready to fundamentally alter all of humanity drastically and obviously? First off, they've got like a thousand experiment logs on a single vending machine and the foundation basically admits they have no clue how it works. But not even gonna try a second test on gorillas or something? Second, this breaks the veil of secrecy that in this very same story they try so hard to protect. As if people aren't going to realize no one has died of old age in even a year, maybe a month. Not like everyone noticed when a single species of dog that not everyone has suddenly started dying. Third, in the real world drugs generally take like 12 years to get FDA approved, if they get approved. I know it's not a requirement to know the intricacies of science to write SCPs but all R&D takes a while and it's pretty common sense. Even video games take years and those don't dramatically affect the lives of every living being on the planet in a way that defies our understanding of the world.

Treaty? More like a treety. Haha get it? Cause its about the tree? Ill show myself out.

Its so weird coming back to these. I remember the day this was uploaded like it was yesterday, same with a bunch of your other videos. It really puts time into perspective for me.

you and volgun are the reason I love the scp lore so much. Thanks for putting so much effort into this!

That might be the saddest missed opportunity in the whole history of SCP. You get the chance to imagine and create a whole seventh kingdom of life. Something that's not animal, fungus, plant, bacteria, insect, etc. You can only be stopped by your imagination, nothing else. There are hundreds of amazingly creative speculative evolution and speculative xenobiology projects online. And instead of creating something truly magnificent, something that'll go beyond the SCP fandom, you go hurrrr sooooo there was this anime species of anime creatures called AETERNALS bcz its sounds really kewl buuuhh they were like eternal get it thas why they called eterns or whatever, bcs that's how people name creatures the Fungi kingdom is called that because mushrooms are funky and ummmm the creatures of that completely unique seventh kingdom are... like a dragon... which had scales... despite scales are a common trait in an already existing kingdom of creatures, and there's also like a "tusker" which sounds an awful lot like a mammal, but its not cuz its a unique branch of evolution and like an azhdarkid pterosaur, hurrr and that lazy sob even used an actual illustration of an azdarkid lol. Just disgusting. Why be creative when you can just waste everyone's time?

SCP Foundation: "We are running low on money because of budget cuts." Also the Foundation: "We have enough money and resources to fight what amounts to WW3, rebuild and redesign the entire planets ecosystem, and rewrite the collective memory of the human race."

The only thing I can think of that could fix this is exposing 682 to the rot of 106 and collecting it’s protective secretions and using that to negate the effects of the original concoction

THANK YOU! These videos keep me company on long car rides so it really is a pleasure to have them. Thank you again!

It seems a bit out of character for the foundation to meddle with something so dangerous to defeat a non-anomalous threat like aging. The foundation could've destroyed humanity in the scp-5000 timeline by sawing off the branch containing humanity. Maybe scp-2935 was caused by the GOC neutralizing the tree.

Hi. I'm Jonny Knoxville. This is a chainsaw. That is the tree of life. Welcome to jackass.

This is the first I've ever heard of the Foundation being so petty as to expunge records of their own culpability in some negative event. I could believe such behavior from some Site Director, but the 05s would eventually find out and put a stop to it, I would have thought.

I don't think that way. I think it's just a somewhat ambiguous attempt to generalize a somewhat common trope in most Native American mythology and folklore and make in more accessible to the casual reader. It's definitely not perfect though and a bit clunky but at least it's not a total stereotypical caricature of itself or a thinly veiled white saviour narrative. I'm a quarter Muscogee (Creek), so I'm not sure if I have any authority really on the subject to begin with. Never really spent much time around other people of my heritage, my grandfather was full blooded, but he passed when I was a baby. So, mainly just second hand learning and vicarious imagining through vigorous reading.
