The Good Place and Philosophy Quotes

“I’m placing a decent-sized bet on the idea that understanding morality and following its compass during decisions, great and small, will make you better and therefore safer. Not safer from harm, necessarily, although I hope for that, too. But from all of the traps that modern life sets, especially for people lucky enough to be born into privilege. I’m talking about selfishness, callousness, cruelty, hypocrisy, snobbery. All of those traits people display when they decide we are not actually living all together here on Earth, but instead are living alone, individually, 8 billion siloed ego states, competing in a world that, they forget, inevitably ends with everyone in a dead heat.”
― Michael Schur, The Good Place and Philosophy: Everything is Forking Fine!
