The trolley problem.
We all know about it, right? If we didn't before, we knew about it after those The Good Place episodes.
But do we know about the Climate Change Catastrophe problem? How you, individually, can't seem to do much to slow much less stop catastrophic climate change... How the folks who cause it are also the folks most insulated from its effects?
And so, what do you do? Do you teach everyone about how to seize control of the means of production and turn them towards the common good, rather than profit? Do you labor day and night to stop the worst abusers and so throw your efforts into the wind in the hopes that after most of humanity perishes, the next few humans will be able to fly away from the problem?
Do you focus on building relationships with the mole people, who have already built their weather-insulated bunkers and learned how to grow food using only the earth's internal fire?
Do you plant trees, and then use your magic to cause them to grow solid and fast, and then bury them deep to sequester the carbon? Do you flap your wings?
It is crazy, isn't it? What do you do?
I binged The Good Place during my time away, and may I say what a terrific twist it had, even though I was questioning everything from the very beginning.
To your questions, I answer none of the above. I say we just live our best lives and make the best of the time we have.
Just the first season? It gets even better. WHAT A GOOD SHOW.
Watched it all the way to the latest ep haha! So much potential for where they could go. Ted Danson was fantastic as Michael.
He sure is. And I keep seeing the woman who plays Janet in other stuff! She's in Broad City, too!
Oh really? Girl's got range.
I very much admire that woman's talent.
