Cemetry Gator posted:When is someone going to finally say "you know what? You've convinced me, I was wrong?" This is why i really like the theory from a whole back that its Vicky in the Michael suit who commits to the role and ends up turning good. It means we can still have his impassioned speeches be genuine, and fits with the shows "fake it til you make it" morality

Are there immoral philosophers? The recently departed Roger Scruton was apparently a big deal in aesthetic philosophy and the philosophy of sexuality. https://twitter.com/hannahrosewoods/status/1216679355319029761 Yeah.....don't think anybody likes him either

I feel like the suicide door has to reincarnate you. Partly because I never bought into "life only has meaning because it ends" but also because an afterlife that gives you a well earned rest before returning you to your earthly struggles as you ascend to sainthood sounds pretty awesome.

Undead Hippo posted:"There is a door, and if you enter it you cease to exist." Eh, reincarnation implies a continuity of some kind of basic essence, so there's definitely a difference. Especially the way the show treats the reboots (full reboots or partial) as still meaningfully the same as the original.

Rabbi Raccoon posted:I feel like if reincarnation was a thing in this universe, it would have been mentioned already Yeah, I'm predicting that they'll invent it. Ishamael posted:And "Death gives life meaning" is not a platitude, it is literally the truth. There will never be a version of human life without death, so it is just a basic fact. That we can try to imagine what it might be like to live forever doesn't make it true, so the fact will always exist that death is part of life, and part of what gives it form and purpose. That means death has some contribution to life's meaning, but its often used to mean "Death allows life to find a purpose" which comes awfully close to saying that death is a good thing. Yeah, the finality of peoples existence is a huge deal, but death loving sucks.

socialsecurity posted:I'm not sure how all these reincarnation supporters want this to go. So you are in the Good Place and go through the reincarnation door, you are reborn on Earth and live a different live not knowing about your one from before, you die again. Now this new person who lived a different life do they get unwillingly merged with who they were before? Exactly like the partial reboots they described last episode. It's a "new" you, but a little core part of your personality carries over.

Jerusalem posted:Also while Jason deciding to be an eternal monk would have been neat, it means we would have lost,"CHIDI, WAIT UP!" and that's not a universe that should exist Counterpoint: He didn't shout "BORTLES!" as he ran through the door, and that's a travesty.
