[@dianeinsertlastnamehere7296]

@user-kv8uj1sg1f Just because there are much fewer obligations in the 6001 universe doesn't mean there's no meaning. Your motivation doesn't have to be survival or the elimination of stress, it could be joy. It could be the satisfaction of a job well done. It could be the fuzzy feeling you get from helping another person out. It could be the calmness that comes from building something with your hands. It could be intellectual curiosity. To say that the stress is the only true motivator is a defeatist idea. Your motivation shouldn't be to minimize suffering, it should be to maximize happiness.

[@IsaacClodfelter]

So to answer the question, the world was rough, and we evolved to be rougher than it so we could thrive in it.

They can't do anything if an asteroids about to hit, we can destroy it and enjoy the meteor shower from our telescopes.

[@warriorscholar41]

@@oracle8192 Your comment makes me wonder if the author of this SCP was in part inspired by the concept of the Great Filter. In case you are unaware, the Great Filter is what arose from us asking "where is all the other sentient life?" Either we are one of the only few species that have survived some great trial or we have yet to pass said trial and the really intelligent species aren't bothering with us until we prove ourselves. The actual anomaly, the microscopic portal, is a literal filter that keeps us apart from that world, and it won't be until we evolve past the apex murder machines we had to become, until we can realize that we don't have to be that anymore, that we can cross the filter.

Which means they have possibly been utilising various anomalies that may, in the long run, cause quite some issues.

It's a horror tale in its own way. The humans in that universe are doomed to atrophy from laziness and turn into WALL-E humans. When a single hostile entity enters their universe, like the Scarlet King, they will be unprepared and be wiped from existence. Comfort and prosperity are at best temporary pleasures that can not be allowed to remain permanently in any society lest its members become complacent and unable to handle unforeseeable challenges. When the human race ends, it will be because evolution has atrophied our brains from becoming rarely needed.
