I've seen speculative essays on the future of AI and I can draw some similar parallels; intelligent but lacking cognition or understanding, an absence of morality, unfathomable intellect in the hands of something less than a worm, more like if you gave an amoeba the ability to do math. A classical, non-sapient AI runs on reward, Darwinian selection and parameters, and a sufficiently powerful one will find novel ways of solving a problem that can end up being worse than the problem itself, because it doesn't truly understand anything and is incapable of context or nuance. The Imago is hungry, it creates a solution to this by continually more extreme events, and as the Abrahamic god is "all loving" the Imago has been conditioned to believe itself as such, solving the issue of its hunger in the most blunt and unsustainable way possible without understanding it will exhaust its food source.

I don't think it's actually evil. It's basically a dumb deity that takes everything literally. A lot of concepts in Christianity revolve around suffering. Suffering for the sake of our fellow man, getting killed so the rest of humanity will be forgiven for their sins etc. This "God" literally thinks that humans enjoy suffering and hardships and that brings us closer to God. It THINKS it's doing good for humanity. The bible is filled to the brim with stories of humans dying horribly and it THINKS that humans literally want to die. It's a deity that has the mind of a child that doesn't understand the concept of metaphors and symbolism. It's not that it's inherently evil. It's just that it doesn't understand what humanity is really about.

When it comes to the God described in the Bible, the abject ignorance of most people to his depicted nature is astounding... People see him as some bearded guy in the sky who does mean things to people, like some Greek deity... That is NOT the God of the Bible... THAT God, is much more akin to a Lovecraftian Cosmic Horror, but in reverse. He's not a sky daddy, it's MUCH WORSE than that, he is the ultimate good. Perfection. Sounds great, right? Yeah, NO! What do you think happens when a perfect being, an all-powerful, all good being sees something EVIL? ANYTHING evil? No sin is too small, too miniscule, to exterminate for something like THAT... From the perspective of a perfect, infinite being, an altruistic saint whose only crime is he once cheated on a quiz in math class is infinitely worse than Hitler compared to an average person... An Eldritch abomination might ignore you, or might spare a few victims, or get bored of torturing you and move on. A perfect being of ultimate righteousness and justice? Unless you also are prefect in every way, you will not be spared the wrath of such a being... NO ONE will be... A flawed God can see themselves in a flawed creation, a flawless one sees only evil that must be wiped clean... THAT is the kind of entity described in the Bible. That's why it says to FEAR God... That is also why Jesus had to die. God, being a perfect being, was also full of Love and Mercy, but he cannot withhold his righteous judgement, or that would violate his ultimate justice, so Jesus, human and a perfect being (being God himself) dies and descends into hell, willingly accepting the wrath of God for all the evil of every human ever to exist or that will exist, thereby satisfying the need for God to dish out punishment. But, since Jesus was an innocent man, not worthy of punishment, and since he was also God himself, and God cannot be separated from himself, Jesus rose from the dead, destroying the very concept of sin and need for punishment of it in the process.

But what puts it over the top is how well the author conveys the difference between this thing and our reality. While many SCPs are strange, Imago is truly alien; that to me is the heart of SCP

I really really liked this one. Theres smth about the new editing that kind of adds layers (?) to the whole video that i really like. Well done!

Finally I've been waiting for this since I watched his uncle Johny every new video has been great keep up the good work.

Damn Brood X is getting really scary

Cold is actually quite an apt description of the phenomena of nothing. Think about it, all "cold" is, is the feeling of experiencing a lower than average local kinetic energy among the medium (vacuum, gas or liquid) one is experiencing as their matrix/surrounding atmospheric conditions. Also, it would likely explode and spread into our reality faster than the speed of light, if it was exposed to the comparatively hot (no where in our universe is there a space where temperature reaches 0kelvin or -273.15C, even man made bose-einstein condensates are still always fraction above it) fabric of our universe. Nothing and its superior quantum stability could very well anhilate the medium that provides the "pressure" necessary for things like the strong force to occur (i.e. normal matter could no longer exist). It would cause a big rip, similar in nature to the big bang (an expansion, faster than the speed of light), that converts all the matter it touches (including the boiling phasma of virtual particles making up quantum foam fabric at the base of reality) into a (relatively) 2d plane around the "bubble", that dissipates in density/energy level as the expansion stretches it out.

One of my long time favorites. Absolutely excellent as always dude.

Every time I am reminded of your dyslexia I want to thank you again for the work that you do purely for our enjoyment. This stuff would be a pain on its own, but the fact that you only goof a word once maybe every five videos or so is fucking incredible. God.

this is a personal favorite scp. the one that really got me into scp as a whole!

This is one of the best SCP's I've heard and one of the best productions on this channel. I think it's actually helped that it starts out "cliche right?" It makes the other shoe drop all the heaveir.

Is this SCP somehow linked to Cousin Johnny? Or are the similarities just a coincidence?

SCP 3004 watching people devour babies' skins, mutilate themselves, and rupture their eardrums with cicada calls: "They love me"

Suggestion: due to the violent erradication of the singers, SCP-3004-1 became vastly more violent than before, hence it's modern Events Feature such violent actions. Had the Religion Not Been so violently erradicated, SCP-3004-1 would Not have caused as violent Events as it does. Another Suggestion: Christianity would Not have to be wiped Out in a worst-case-scenario, but it's worship would have to be, similar to the old egyptian Religions. A thought regarding the Second Suggestion: If it, after it's old believers were wiped by Christians, Then latched onto the Christians, erradicating Christianity would cause it to latch onto the SCP Foundation, aswell as vastly changing it's Nature. Maybe it would become helpfull to the Foundations gold, maybe it would repeat what it did with Christianity, meaning the foundation might have to be dissolved, and could Not be Reformed. A question: Christianity, in recent years, has been vastly declining in Popularity, so how this entity is becoming stronger and stronger is beyond me

To answer your question, SCP-3004-1 doesn't feed on the amount of people practicing its rituals, it feeds on their "faith" and "belief." Thus even if the amount of people practicing said "faith" shrink in number, if the remaining members' "faith" intensifies, the SCP will still gather a sufficient amount of food. The report also alludes to the fact that this entity seemed to have consumed other entities like it, which probably supplemented any loss of food it had experienced. It also describes the entity as being mostly asleep, and thus not using much, if any, of the "faith" it's already consumed. As for your suggestions, the singers appeared to already have violent tendencies in their rituals, and their hatred towards Christianity as it tried to eradicate their way of life and absorb their people into its own sphere already had influenced the SCP. Christianity destroying the singers' culture probably didn't increase the brutality of it, but once it latched onto Christianity, which is chock full of metaphors and simile that the entity did not understand, its brutality then began to increase as well. The eradication of Christianity is also different from the old singers' religion being eradicated and absorbed into Christianity. While surely many of the singers were actually killed, it's probable that there were so many believers that many were simply converted to Christianity, which allowed for SCP-3004 to hop over to it. The Foundation is not absorbing Christianity into its own beliefs, it's outright wiping it from its own memory along with the rest of the world, thus leaving the entity with nowhere to go, stuck in its own empty dimension.

@@clauro6153 You don’t understand. This is the retroactive removal of Christianity from history. History will rewrite itself as if Christianity didn’t exist, with all the world’s cultures and religions reacting to it. The world will change to a timeline where Christianity didn’t exist. The cultures and religions Christianity effected will be changed to be so the influences never existed. Nobody knows what this timeline will look like. Doing this will destroy its food source. With no belief it can latch onto, it’ll starve.

Thank [REDACTED] that the real things are derpy, useless things. I can't take Cicadas seriously. I think that helps me cope with this one.
