What if the Good Place is just really nice?

The podcast talked about William Jackson Harper as a Marvel actor and now I can't stop imagining Chidi as Black Panther

Doug is an ascetic who doesn't really help anyone, he doesn't deserve to go to the Good Place. If instead of moving to the woods and growing a garden he had gotten a job making 30k a year working at a warehouse and tithed 10% of what he made every year for 50 years to good charities like the Against Malaria Foundation, he'd have saved at least fifty human-life equivalents. Much like how Chidi wasn't a "bad person" per se, Doug is not really a good person, just a neutral person who deserves at best a medium place.

Ah, but he's interacting with capitalism, which is a lot of negative points.

I wonder who died in 1497 that made it into the Good Place.

One thing that seems strange to me is that Janet has an automatic fail-safe to avoid being rebooted...but there is apparently no fail-safe that exists for Janets being marbleized. In fact there were at least two instances I can recall where Janet was actively encouraging Michael to marbleize her.

I suppose the real world explanation was that rebooting Janet was an idea from Season 1 which went along with D'arcy's hilarious pleas and face-down sand smash for comedic effect. For season 2 they needed to introduce something else that could happen to Janets and this time there was no time or reason to rehash the same joke (especially since we got a great Janet reboot montage early in Season 2).

I guess for an in-universe explanation perhaps the entity (God? Gen the judge? Someone else?) that is in charge of Janets know that there is no harm in them being marbleized since there is an infinite supply of Janets as replacements but since Janets become more advanced when they are rebooted the fail-safe exists to keep Janets primitive.

Or I just realized that the times that Janet is actively encouraging Michael to marbleize her it is because her very existence is endangering the humans. So maybe she is able to overwrite any fail-safe that she might have towards being marbleized because her primary mandate is to make the humans happy like the First Law of Robotics (not a robot).

You can de-marbleize a Janet bu you can't de-reboot a Janet.

My guess is Michael gets to set up a neighborhood as a "temporary Good Place" for people with positive scores (but not good enough to get into the actual Good Place) while the problem is looked into.
