OctaviusBeaver posted:I don't think Chidi was a good person necessarily. He semi-willingly ruined everything for everyone around him. He never did anything really horrible that we know about but he also never did anything good. He cared more about rules and theories than helping actual people. He was a Pharisee. Chidi was so indecisive because he did want to be a good and ethical person, but as we know the road to hell is paved with good intentions... Just a little more literally in his case. That said, I don't think Chidi was a bad guy, but he definitely wasn't good either.

There Bias Two posted:I dunno. I feel like he has a clear mental illness that goes beyond merely choosing to be indecisive. We see a lot of examples of how much pain it brings him throughout his life and he's still unable to alter his behavior. Can we really attach a moral value to that? Perhaps it could be said that him not seeking therapy for it was immoral, but I don't know that that deserves eternal damnation. Yeah I relate to Chidi alot but that's because I have an anxiety disorder so making decisions suuucks because I'm always examining the smallest choices from 73936 different angles. Therapy has helped a lot though! Ironically I used to have a big problem with impulsivity 🤷🏾♀️

Ironically I remember there being some study of something saying Ethics students are less ethical than people who didn't study ethics but I can't find it with a cursory Google search. Does anyone else know what I am talking about?

Tequila25 posted:Because both comments exist in a context of a society where women are still judged mainly by appearance, but guys taking care of their appearance is judged as "gay'. If you really want to get into it you can add society's multiple hosed up ways of fetishising black people, although tbh I haven't seen that itt.

The Lord Bude posted:I think a more likely, (and arguably better) direction for the show would be rather than having the bad place interfering with the system, reveal that the system itself has naturally become flawed - maybe as humanity expanded and society grew more complex it became harder and harder to get points vs lose points, such that fewer and fewer people were getting in until it eventually stopped. The system is broken because its expanded too far beyond the original scope. I really see it being this. We saw how new actions get "judged" so as society and technology expands more new actions crop up and are arbitrarily judged as bad because gently caress context, motivation and circumstances do you know how long that would take with the population boom and people living longer etc??

"We'll, wouldn't you know it, I was chased by some raccoons in Ramsett Park and I tripped over a giant rock, didn't see the darn thing, and the nails on my left foot just fell right out and never grew back. Might as well have them match right?" "Ugggh" Koalas March fucked around with this message at 18:51 on Jan 12, 2019 |

Ashrik posted:I fully expect them to walk it in a different direction as that's at once too bleak, too "political", and too challenging a concept to expect from an NBC funny show. Eh Schur has always been political (Parks & Rec) and a gay black man is going to war with the NYPD over broken windows, stop and frisk etc on B99 so I don't think NBC cares as long as they make money.

I think Tahani would be Famine and Chidi would be Death in that scenario
