ABOUT THE GOOD PLACE
From creator Michael Schur (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Parks and Recreation” and “Master of None”) comes a unique comedy about what makes a good person. The show follows Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell, “House of Lies,” “Veronica Mars”), an ordinary woman who enters the afterlife, and thanks to some kind of error, is sent to the Good Place instead of the Bad Place (which is definitely where she belongs). While hiding in plain sight from Good Place Architect Michael (Ted Danson - “Cheers,” “CSI” - in an Emmy Award-nominated performance), she’s determined to shed her old way of living and earn her spot.

No, this guy is great. He knows how to break things down in terms simple enough for the average 18 year old product of the American educational system to understand. That's quite an accomplishment. Though, I'll have to admit, if I ever met up with such a rigid Kantian as Chidi, I would be very tempted to put him out of the world's misery.

Such a classic quote from Chidi and Micheal

@Ben-rz9cf 5 лет назад

Thanks for confirming Chidi is primarily a Kantian, i've been saying for the whole series is that the source of most of his anguish is how incompatible the Kantian paradigm he follows by default is with the other ideologies he juggles and also just living life pragmatically in general. Kant died a pissed off, antisocial wretch, angry at society slowly drifting into demented madness, plagued by the same stomach pains Chidi often experiences. His philosophy be a good model for a categorical imperative of morality, but definitely not a practical working definition for anyone who wants to stay happy or live a fruitful life.

Oh I saw this in my suggestions and had to watch it even though I was already watching a different video. Oh well that one can wait. Existential philosophy was my favorite class in college. Also shortest test. 1 question.. 1 word question.. "Why?" And the class panics. Imagine an entire room of Chidis level of panic. It was amazing. I am pretty sure someone threw up. No final can cause crisis like the class on existentialism. Ha! I often miss those days.

@brettknoss486 3 года назад

There is an issue with not dealing with problems, but the idea that repressed feelings is harmful or a person needs to vent, is contrary to evidence based psychology. Instead the important thing is to reinforce desired responses and behaviors, through practice snd repetition, as well as reflection on goals. This is the basis of the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
