    Let it be remembered that while the GOC may have its flaws, when Humanities darkest hour came and its most ardent defenders became its gravest threat, the GOC stood strong. They fought for humanity to the bitter end, and they died standing.

      They did, but they were not smart or strong enough to stop the hurricane known as the foundation. This entry is a proof that when the demons of the foundation are out of the pit, no one is strong enough to stop them except the Insurgency. Who are ubfortunatley not mentioned at all.

    One of the reasons why the Foundation wasn't able to get into Ganzir right away aside from the force field was because the GOC had SCP-076-2(Able, as in the Biblical Able) on their side. Able is incredibly violent, possesses extreme durability, can summon bladed weapons, and when killed, can reform inside of an indestructible coffin.

    TL;DR SCP-5000, or IT is something so terrifying that if allowed to develop, it would cause something worse than even the Scarlet King. The Foundation discovers this and the fact that EMPATHY IS NOT A NATURAL HUMAN EMOTION, neither is physical pain, they are IT's defense mechanisms. As a result, Foundations goes from 0 to Holocaust in less than 3 seconds.
    And the real kicker to this whole story? The dude in the suit, by jumping in the whole, just resets the whole universe...IT lives...The Foundation lost.

      What I don't get is, even if there is an IT, why does that need to be wiped out? To me it has always seemed like the IT is essentially the human soul, why would the Foundation think it needs to be destroyed? It sounds like the Church Of The Broken God's creation story: Humans were created as beasts, but Mekhane gave them something that made them more. While this Foundation is still intelligent, they are definitely acting beastlike.

    I personally prefer SCP ILLUSTRATED's compiled video about 5000 because I thought the voice acting & drawings were pretty good. ("Compiled" because he made 3 separate videos about it. 3rd one was an explanation.) But I think it was better for you to watch The Exploring Series' video about 5000 because he does explain a lot of the SCPs in it that you don't know about yet, while SCP ILLUSTRATED just reads the article like TheVolgun does.
    The dead boy with the laughing worms seems like a reference to SCP-2030 LA U GH IS F UN. You can check that out if you want, from TheVolgun preferably. hehe

But anyways, that smug son-of-a-gun has refused to confirm or deny anything about the explanation for 5000, though he assures us that an explanation does indeed exist. I am haunted by the notion that we have yet to figure out the correct answer.

    In other words not using things like holy spirit. They found SOMETHING attached to humanities Psyche. That SOMETHING is responsible for our ability to feel pain and most emotions. That SOMETHING was bad enough, in the foundations opinion, that killing humanity would be a preferable mercy to letting IT continue to influence us.
