Hello Internet - and welcome back to the most inquisitive channel on YouTube - Life's
Biggest Questions - the channel where we tip-toe over the realm of impossibility and toe the
line of the conceivable.
As always - I'll be your host Jack Finch - as we delve into the depths of the O5 Archives,
and ask the question - What If SCP-2000 Was Real?
Roll the clip.
Before we begin, you all know the drill by now - if you'd be so kind as to hit that
subscribe bell conveniently floating below, so you can stay up to date with our latest
and most paranormally apt uploads.
Also - if you're a fan of this video or just LBQ in general - then why don't you
go ahead and give it a thumbs up - and share it with your most treasured individuals.
Now - the archives of the Foundation are an oftentimes bleak place.
As a Level 4 researcher, plumbing the depths of the darkest, most bizarre arenas of amorphous
anomalies - from SCP-106 to 096 and 4000 - sometimes, it can get you pretty deep down in the dumps.
Well - wouldn't it be great to have a great big reset button?
Wouldn't it be great to just - start again?
Well - kind of, I guess?
Let me introduce you to the most useful and seemingly none ominous SCP of them all.
SCP-2000.
This entity is a Level 4, Thaumiel class anomalous object that essentially is a hard-reboot for
the human race, should we ever experience a ZK class catastrophic event.
Which, according to the archive report, has already happened.
Twice.
The entrance to SCP-2000 is disguised as a disused Park Ranger station in Yellowstone
National Park - and has one of the strictest security levels of any containment in the
Foundation, no personnel below Level 4/2000 are even allowed access to documentation that
refers to the entity - and no one below Level 5 are allowed access to the site.
So incredibly restricted is SCP-2000, that only cleared Level-6/2000 Maintenance Technicians
are allowed access to even /work/ on certain parts of the site, and then after their task
is complete - they are reassigned and submitted to amnestic therapy immediately.
Not a punishment, claims the Foundation, but a legitimate safety concern - where everyone's
the better off.
Well, what's all of this kerfuffle for, anyway?
What exactly is it?
I'll tell you.
SCP-2000, is a subterranean Foundation installation, originally constructed sometime in the last
[redacted] years.
Through the use of a Pseudo-Riemannian manifold, the underground structure utilises tangent-space,
providing 10km squared of workable floor space to house 500'000 Bright/Zartion Hominid
Replicators, that can produce 100'000 viable, non-anomalous humans per day.
Sound confusing?
That's because it is, and I'll go to no lengths to try and assume I understand the
incredibly complicated hypothetical science behind this - but essentially, it's a factory
that makes /people/.
Millions of them.
And throughout a complex series of protocols, if the world ends in a hail of hellfire - the
Foundation can assure that the human race can hit that reset button, and no one would
be any wiser.
Great stuff.
But, let's don our hypothetical caps for a moment.
How would our trajectory be altered if we had a construct like that in our power?
Philosophically speaking, how would we deal with such a shared safety blanket.
Economically speaking, would the world grind to a halt if everyone felt that progress was
irrelevant?
What are we saving ourselves from, if not the abyss?
Would productivity grind to a halt?
Would we just sit back and watch the world burn?
Let's run one scenario.
A very real scenario in some cases.
A total nuclear apocalypse.
Currently, as we speak, the Doomsday Clock is set to two minutes to midnight.
That's the closest it's ever been in history, barr 1953 - which had the same reading.
Which, in layman's terms, means that we're under some heavy pressure from the looming
threats of nuclear war and climate change.
Yikes.
Well - say we did succumb to nuclear annihilation.
Say all the world leaders across the planet tried to double bluff each other and be the
first person to have the bollocks to hit the big red button.
Boom.
Dead - and 15 years later, the last human alive succumbs to the harsh reality of a nuclear
winter, and our very brief time in this incredibly old universe comes to an end.
But it's fine - because as that last human takes their last breath, the SCP Foundation
have triggered the Ganymede protocol, and the factory whirs into life - and we forget
the whole thing ever happened.
Would there ever really be a point of going to nuclear war?
Wouldn't the despots and dictators of Planet Earth just save everyone the hassle of atomic
rearrangement - eventually leading to nuclear disarmament and world peace?
Would the existence of SCP-2000 save mankind in more ways than one?
Well, yeah.
In all likelihood - knowledge of a giant underground machine that preserves existence indefinitely
would be the biggest deterrent to any global conflict.
Although, we've got to take into consideration the nihilist's and the death cults.
Although a small threat, SCP-2000 would be at a constantly consistent threat level from
organised worshippers of death.
Nihilism.
The rejection of all moral principles, often in the belief that life is meaningless.
In all likelihood, the emergence of an organised group of these people would be a very real
scenario.
As we know - people like to be anti.
So when life itself is mainstream, you get anti-life.
Their ultimate goal being the destruction and dismantling of SCP-2000.
On the flipside, it could potentially allow us the freedom to take risks that we wouldn't
otherwise be able to take.
Nuclear Fusion need testing, at the risk of consuming the world in a portion of quantum
entanglement?
No problem - just hit that Ganymede Protocol before you do anything stupid.
The AI singularity about to hit its peak, and the world is at risk of being destroyed
by sentient nanobots?
No problem!
See how it goes, but make sure the Ganymede Protocol is running while you're at it.
Well - it'd be an interesting time to be alive, to see the least, because we'd have
no idea how many times the world had been saved from the brink of self-extinction.
Maybe it's already happened dozens of times before.
Who knows.
