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.

I see from context that $18,000 is actually a lot of money.

cant cook creole bream posted:There really can't be selfless acts of good. Humans are developed as highly social herd animals. There's some biological instinct to help each other in our brains, since it has always been advantageous to keep the herd strong. Humans have all sorts of instincts, some are good in most cases and some are bad in most cases. Morality consists of encouraging or discouraging our various instincts in the correct situations. If I see a drowning person I might have a social instinct telling me to save them and a self preservation instinct telling me not to, but I also have a rational mind that can choose the moral action between those instincts.

My bad, that sort of stuff is so fun to talk about I couldn't resist and this show is the perfect excuse.

Nah it's because Chidi is a dude so everyone gets a pass. For some reason it's popular now for straight men to talk about how another dude turns them on so people jumped on that bandwagon.

If you're mad that women are objectified (and I am too) then the solution is to stop objectifying women. It's not to start also objectifying men.

NdgT could have been a twitter thing. Anyway this episode was good compared to other shows but kind of weak compared to the others. Mostly I just don't care that much about the romances between Chidi-Elanor or Tahani-Jason. The cancer patient look gag was really weird and then they skipped right past it and did nothing with the concept of reliving memories being painful. I liked how Vicki experienced no time passing while she was cocooned.

I feel like the afterlife would be full of assholes in that scenario. And also Tahani.

Maybe the system isn't unfair. Maybe the human race is depraved and evil and we deserve the bad place.

Liking pineapples in any form is racist because the kingdom of Hawaii was overthrown by a pineapple farmer. Please check your fruit privilege.

She didn't run a hospital. These places were staffed by nuns and volunteers. They didn't have the training to use serious painkillers, if they even had them available.

It can't be capitalism that's the problem. The Dutch East India company was the first publicly traded corporation and that wasn't until 1600, 100 years after the last person got into the good place. But even if you say that capitalism existed in Eurasia earlier than that, it certainly didn't exist in the Americas so that would mean that no Aztec or Inca or whatever person got in for decades before capitalism was even a concept where they lived.
