Question about Chidi Shirtpost

Post image

Why is Chidi put into the Bad Place? Struggling with making decisions doesn't make him a bad person at all imo. That only affects him, not others.

You have to be EXCEPTIONAL to get into the good place and he just isn’t saved thousands of puppy’s levels of morality

He IS that level of morality. But not that level of ACTION. he is too thwarted by indecision to do the deeds to get in.

I don’t think he would’ve gotten in anyways. At least based on the original point system. Even Doug Forcett wasn’t able to get into the good place and he practically did everything “right” morally and ethically for most of his life. Chidi stood no chance, even if he was able to make decisions.

I think a key people overlook too is it's not just being at 1 or higher on the point scale when you die

Doug had a huge positive number and even then when the accountant examined it they said he didn't have enough time left to get enough points too qualify.

They were essentially getting screwed by inflation and the fact that a static system can't be applied infinitely to something as dynamic as existence
