How many points is being totally ripped?

Being totally ripped is not sufficient, you must share your total rippedness with appreciative audiences.

A big thing I like is that because they are all doomed, they aren't focusing on being better people. They are just focusing on saving people. So Eleanor will continue to be a garbage person in a lot of regards, and I find that a lot more entertaining/interesting than everyone attempting to be goody-two-shoes about everything.

More importantly, they're further damning themselves to save others. Everything they told Pillboi was a lie.

He has a huge problem with lying, as well as with withholding the truth. He'd probably eventually break and tell her, dooming her soul to eternity.

Although honestly I would expect her to have pretty good point totals that I imagine nullifying her future point gathering would have just guaranteed her place in the Good Place.

It nullifies her future good point gathering because her motives would be corrupt, it doesn't nullify point loss.

Corrupt motivation only invalidates point gains, corrupt motivation that stops you from losing points works just fine.

The group's motivation is no longer corrupt since they're trying to save people expecting to not get rewarded for it.

It's the opposite of Eleanor trying to score points to get into the good place. They're doing good despite "knowing" they're not getting points, which is precisely why they're gonna get points. (Unless they realize this and corrupts it again.)

We were talking about Pillboy's corrupt motivations. My point was that even if Pillboi decides not to rob a gas station because he's a secret NASA investigator, he's still not robbing gas stations.

I've been thinking about starting watching Veronica Mars just for more Kristen Bell. I never paid much attention to her until this show

Season one of Veronica Mars is some excellent TV, despite stunt casting Paris Hilton. Seasons two and three are decent (they clearly didn’t have any idea beyond season one’s murder mystery when they created the show).

Of course it has to be Doug Forcett, he’ll assume that his understanding of the point system led him to live a good life and he deserves to be in the Good Place. Having arrived, he’ll refuse to improve himself, slack off and do even worse than before, disproving the hypothesis of the experiment. He’ll probably even tattle on the ethics study group.
