@futurebird @ireneista I’m not certain whether this response adequately expands upon yr wise words about the military industrial complex as something that might as well be supernatural, and about nature as a hyperobject that secures, protects and contains as it will, whether this suits our plans or not, but a near-rhyme/adjacent tone meditation seemed best.
@futurebird @ireneista and this SCP speculative fiction endeavor seems quite wild — thanks for the tip top tip

It's a wonderful project. Parts of it just have a bad case of Secret Police Military Fantasy and it annoys me.

A large portion of SCP tales focus on the very Tactical Squads of Tactical Men who have lots of gear and cool code names and patches and do "operations" and "extractions" to get the monsters.
The SCP Foundation is deeply secretive and extrajudicial. It's like a mutant CIA or FBI "off books" operation. But when you study real operations like that they are clown shows. They hardly ever work even within their own deeply distorted ethical framework.
Listen buddy, I do not need you or your "MTF* Unit" to "preserve my precious bodily fluids"
I prefer the chaos beast. "Baseline Reality" can sit and spin.
*unfortunately, this stands for "Mobile Task Force."

@futurebird @ira and of course the Ethics Board parts of it are just depressingly real

I love the Ethics Board.

@futurebird ah, a reference to one of my favorite movies

I didn't really get that line until I saw RFK.
RFK is literally Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper ... well if you mix RFK and Pete Hegseth you'd have him exactly even the hair.

@futurebird This was a really cool analysis of something I'm tangentially familiar with. While I'm being lazy, what are the 'off the books' agencies you're referring to?
Or have I misunderstood, and you mean the times publically known agencies conducted operations that lost touch with reality (or never had any to begin with), like say Project MKULTRA or the Bay of Pigs or something like that?

Yes I was thinking of things like Project MKULTRA and the Bay of Pigs... and whatever they are doing in Venezuela right now. I'm so sick of this crap. It's not just immoral and evil it's also ineffective and unintelligent.

@futurebird Idk, an "MTF unit" sounds like a decent alternative to blockers, hormones, and surgery.

@futurebird @RogerBW It raises the question as to what organizations there were before the Foundation.
It's also interesting to imagine god-like beings keeping each other in check. -

@futurebird I had to look it up as not familiar. Makes me want to start a series about the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Supernatural Beings. The small office of those who are in charge of helping supernaturals navigate the world and prevent humans from causing them harm.
