Mr. Powers posted:E: To apply to the show, Simone isn't a bad person if she does bad stuff and it's all in her head, regardless of whether or not the people in her head claim to be real. If it is not all in her head, then the theoretical actor whose head in which this all happens is not real and the imagined self is the actual real person.

Whalley posted:No the points system punishes you for being a bad person if you're a dick to people accidentally too. Hell, I'd imagine "disregarded feelings of a person portrayed as real" still gets you classified as A Bad Person, even if you genuinely think they're not real and also you're right, because the points system is based on societal impact I didn't say you wouldn't get negative points. It just doesn't make you a bad person. People who aren't bad still go massively negative on points.

blue squares posted:That's not fair. When I play Grand Theft Auto, the game tells me that those are real people with feelings, but I'm not being a bad person when I drive down a crowded sidewalk. She thought it was just a very realistic videogame And the show sort of gets into this problem when they go to reboot Janet / Derek.

So am I the only goon that is still interested in finding out exactly HOW Simone died on Earth? Shawn made it sound like a real doozy of a story.

I don't know, man. If he isn't clean shaven by NOW, then perhaps Derek is just always supposed to be bearded.

Here's my dumb guess on what is going to happen eventually: The lesson from the Experiment is that different tactics are needed for different people to be motivated to do good. Simone and Journalist guy (can't be bothered to remember his name right now) were turned around by one good speech. Chidi required the fear and pressure of being caught. Brent required direct confrontation. That leaves a role for the Demons to play in whatever new system gets set up. Sometimes people need a bit of subterfuge or trickery or punches to the face, and that's where you call the bad guys in. Similar to how some people respond better to negative reinforcement, and some to positive reinforcement.

I am curious to know when Simone died, and how much of her memory was wiped. Was she much older and is just appearing at her younger age, or did she die not long after we lost saw her, and has essentially lost the memory of the last year of her life?

Cemetry Gator posted:One thing about Simone is that she might not be bad. It's established that the points system is whack, so maybe she doesn't have a huge personality flaw beyond that of a normal person.

From what I read about the episode tonight, Chidi has a final ethical dilemma. Dollars to donuts that it will involve Simone and how she died on Earth.
