      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'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.

      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?

    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.

      @pogowitwiz Рік тому +8

      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.

    I love high concept SCPs like this one. Some of them can feel a bit TOO big at times, with stuff like anime demons from the Kaktusverse or trying to tie 682 into every 001 proposal, but this feels like if Star Trek TNG and X-Files had a baby and the baby wound up outperforming both its parents.

    • @cevk

      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.

    • @LetsTalkAboutPrepping

      Scp 001 is a phenomenon that requires mystery to exist in the world, or the world will cease to exist. As the sense of mystery disappears from the modern world, the foundation needed to create a permanent source of mystery they could ensure. Thus, they made scp001 unknowable and constantly rotating and mysterious.

  • @carolynallisee2463

    Interesting! This seems to break down the opposing ideas of Sarkicism and Church of the Broken God into a conflict between the chemical interactions of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen, and those of Iron and Sulfur. And whether he realised it or not, the Head Researcher was originally a Sarkic.

    • @scp_pedagon1298

    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.
    I may be a robot, but I'm not going down without a fight.

    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. Not becoming bases. They are still acids, but what that means is quintessentially changed. Everything we understand about chemistry would become obsolete, and soon after, life itself.
