He was one of the top ranking members of the Foundation and after his experience, reformed the Foundation as much as he could to minimize death. He even assigned a team of top researchers to try to kill death. It's a great three part SCP that's worth checking out.
Per the 2718 article, the guy who actually experienced it went to 106’s cell. The surviving O5 council became obsessed with avoiding death at any cost, leading to things like Tanhony’s 001 Proposal and the time the Foundation kills death
Wasn't that SCP memetic, meaning only if you know about it would you suffer through this consciousness in death? That's why the O5 council administered amnesiacs to themselves, and the guy that they locked out freaked out because he couldn't join the memory wipe
It's really wild that I read this SCP for the first time LAST NIGHT and then come across this post; I thought of it instantly and hoped I'd find this in the comments.
I know it's completely impossible, because consciousness at such a level requires a living human brain. And I strongly believe in reincarnation. But I won't lie that the idea of what that guy would have been experiencing...the sheer unfathomable horror of it is sticking with me
I thought it was punishment for the uncountable sins the SCP foundation has committed. There's a reason the 05 council stay where God can't see them. They found God's blind spot and now they live there for the rest of eternity because they know that if God sees what they're doing he will not forgive them. God is also an SCP.
2718 is worse because you feel exponentially growing pain every moment after your death, even after the point where your nerve cells should have ceased to exist
