Doug's actions had no impact. If Mindy had an idea for a charity that saves children from war torn countries by establishing world peace through ending famine, then she basically invested in a points mutual fund and will rake in compounding points over time.

It's also possible that the Good Place sours people and they wanted to exclude. Maybe we become the best version of ourselves in a medium place.

The cloaked figure approaching is Jacob, the entire series has taken place in purgatory. I can't remember if the season we're on is flash forwards, flash backs, flash sideways, or flash afterlife, but there's definitely two different time streams going on. It's probably flash afterlife.

Malcolm Turnbeug posted:My piece of poo poo half brother wrote a book about his exploits working on a cruise ship, it’s not an exaggerated gag, dumb gently caress type a people write and pay to have these kinds of books published every fuckin day. We still keep the copy he gave us to read at Christmas to remind us of why we all hate him. This may seem harsh but he was acquitted of manslaughter for locking a drunk woman off her psyche meds on a 30 story balcony and abusing her via text until she killed herself so it’s really not The good news is that, barring a change at the end of the series, he's going to the bad place. The bad news is that, barring a change at the end of the series, you are, too.

I don't really think it's too complicated: Do a bad thing: negative points Do a not bad thing with bad effects: negative points Do a not bad thing with bad intentions: negative points Do a good thing with good effects and good intentions: positive points Everything else: zero points This serves to highlight the problem with the system which is there are many ways to lose points and one way to gain them. This is compounded by the bad place pyramid scheme where doing a bad action will take points from that actor and all those that acted to enable that action and those that acted to enable those actions, ad infinitum. Fake Edit: making a decision to not act is in itself an act that may influence points. Deciding to not pull over and help someone? Negative points. Yet another asymmetry, as deciding to not do a bad thing is not strictly a good thing, but is merely a not bad thing. Your rear end in a top hat boss asks you to sell some bullshit to the elderly and you decide not to out of spite? Negative points. Actual Edit: Killing a person is a bad thing, regardless of intent or effects. Someone does the killing, negative points; everyone in the command chain, negative points. I suspect killing someone to save the world, even an imminent threat and not "killing baby Hitler" type actions, will garner negative points. carticket fucked around with this message at 05:51 on Nov 5, 2019 |

I would say that you playing GTA and mowing people down does not make you a bad person. If the game presents them as real, you aren't a bad person. If they are real, you aren't a bad person, because in the same context, that means the game character you is the bad person (and also real [and you are not real]). E: To apply to the show, Simone isn't a bad person if she does bad stuff and it's all in her head, regardless of whether or not the people in her head claim to be real. If it is not all in her head, then the theoretical actor whose head in which this all happens is not real and the imagined self is the actual real person. carticket fucked around with this message at 15:50 on Nov 6, 2019 |

Whalley posted:No the points system punishes you for being a bad person if you're a dick to people accidentally too. Hell, I'd imagine "disregarded feelings of a person portrayed as real" still gets you classified as A Bad Person, even if you genuinely think they're not real and also you're right, because the points system is based on societal impact I didn't say you wouldn't get negative points. It just doesn't make you a bad person. People who aren't bad still go massively negative on points.

JFC, this show is a mass so large and dense that it explodes outward forming a universe only to collapse back in on itself billions of Bearimys later only to explode and repeat again every few episodes.

I am about 90% certain that the conflict for the rest of the series is going to be that The Good Place is a literal hell for most normal people. Have you heard those Good Place people? E: Chidi, the best version of himself, ready for Good Place entry, was prepared to snap their necks with his jacked arms. That sounds like eternal torture.

I think people have made a lot of assumptions about the door. The gang specifically said they don't really know what's on the other side / what happens. I think that's foreshadowing that the door doesn't just blink you out of existence. I also agree with posters that a suicide door would be an off-brand solution for the show to end with.

The Good Place has ruined TV. I'm watching a dumb TV show right now that could have had a deep analysis of whether or not criminality is in one's nature or comes from environmental factors. Instead it had the shallowest of references to the question, and then did the whole TV show thing (of purely being entertainment)

So, here's a quick artistic take on Jeremy Bearimy.  This is the original drawing. The line above is how humans experience time on Earth: a nice rainbow. Now, if we overlay the human time rainbow on Jeremy Bearimy, we see that it is still a nice rainbow, but you're looking at it left to right, linearly. If you actually follow the path of Jeremy Bearimy, you find that it isn't a nice rainbow and it wiggles back and forth, ultimately looping with a backwards rainbow back to the beginning. This is what the bottom line is supposed to represent (artist's rendering). So, in the afterlife, our human minds don't understand Jeremy Bearimy, particularly the dot in the i. If you enter the afterlife at cyan, earth time, then you can pop up in about six different spots, with five being close together and one being on the return trip. Since the Bearimys are cyclical, not only are there six places to pop out in one, you could pop out in any Bearimy. This has been my effort post and effort drawing on Jeremy Bearimy. It makes complete sense and makes no sense at all. My explanation is as made up as how time works in the show, which is to say a total fabrication. Please do not take this seriously. E: Really I just wanted to make the pretty picture of rainbow Jeremy Bearimy, and in that facet: mission accomplished.

pile of brown posted:Have you really never heard anyone who believes any version of "bad people do bad things?" Because they are very real That ended up the show's thesis, but since it was just a shallow story they introduce it partway through and end with it, all as a given fact rather than putting forth any sort of argument. The main character is ultimately vindicated as not a bad person because it turned out they didn't actually do bad things.

Khanstant posted:Yeah, I've heard of that but it's just wrong so idk what to do with it. Nature/Nurture is a baby question, the actual answers are entertainingly complicated but it always boils down to it not being an either/or thing to begin with. Environment informs genetics, genetics inform the environment, and realistically, your gut bacteria likely play an equal role to the other things as well. A baby question with actual answers that are entertainingly complicated? Well, that sounds like it could be a great question to examine in a show! I don't get how you can dismiss the question as a baby question or something you figure out in middle school, and yet the actual answers are entertainingly complicated. It sure sounds like the question is a bit more complicated than a baby question. I could give you the answer to a math question in preschool if I happened to stumble upon the correct answer by chance. That doesn't make it a baby question. If the question's answer requires graduate level mathematics to understand (one might call that entertainingly complicated) then it is a fairly complicated question. In the end it was a bad TV show that I watched. It was entertainment, and I was looking for entertainment with a bit more substance and depth and exploration of possible answers, but not an actual philosophy lecture in episodic format. Instead it gave you an answer (that you would consider wrong) and assumed it to be fact for the rest of the show.
