> it would trend a lot closer to a Christian understanding of the afterlife

Well, I don't want to go into religious debate, but I will say that there's a difference between how Christianity is practiced in the modern day, and the literal tenets of the religion ("easier for a rich man to ... ", Good Samaritan parable, etc.).

Of those two, I don't see the literal tenets as being incompatible with the show.

There's a great book called The Second Greatest Story Ever Told in which God's daughter comes down and does Letterman, etc., and my favorite bit in the story is how all the commandments are boiled down to one that's easier to remember: "Be kind."

I haven't read What We Owe to Each Other, but from what I'm familiar with it's an attempt by Scanlon to explain and justify his particular brand of moral contractualism, and not an introductory book on ethics and moral philosophy. I believe Chidi is a contractualist and deontologist so it makes sense why he would like that book (as a philosophy professor), but that's just one area of moral philosophy.

One of the problems with philosophy is that the works are intended for students and educated audiences and not laymen, so most of the books for example that I read when I first started college (and books that you'll find listed in "good for beginners" lists) like Nicomachean Ethics and Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals I would never, ever recommend to a general audience. They're full of confusing philosophy terminology and long, multi-stage logical arguments.

Instead I highly recommend what I suspect you're really looking for in Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do? by Michael Sandel. While clearly aimed at an American audience, it's a very good and more importantly very readable general introduction to ethics and the varying schools of thought in the field. It's a really short read for a philosophy text and is peppered with real-life examples and dilemmas.

Another book that I actually read recently and quite enjoyed is A Concise Introduction to Ethics by Russ Shafer-Landau. Unfortunately, this one is intended for a student audience and is more of a textbook (complete with end of chapter quizzes), but it goes really broad and over not just all the big schools of ethics but also the fundamentals of moral reasoning, and metaethics and natural law (two things that don't always show up in ethics books which are usually about normative ethics).

I wound up ordering from Amazon. These are the products I ordered:

Skirt:

I found a fairly nice blouse at Goodwill that I think works, so I don't have to do any sewing with the exact fabric. Good luck!

Also, I got this wig at Michael's for $4!!!

I'm sure costuming did that shirt but it's just a tunic like: https://amzn.to/2pfxl04 You could get some fancy gold applique & buttons to put around the edges & get a pretty similar look.

Best screenshot I could take. Judging by the large step from the barrel to the section , absence of threads in lieu of a snap cap and the un-ergonomic shape of the pen, I'm guessing it's some random kit pen he's using as a prop.

Almost certainly the product in this amazon listing, or something very similar to it. There's a ton of cheap Chinesium "luxury" fountain pens on amazon.

Huh.. That sounds extremely promising! ❤️ Why isn’t all that on Wikipedia?

Thank you, so much.

Edit: I want something from Bortles and found this thingie here:

This made me imagine a Good Place version of the [Star Wars Visual Dictionary] (https://www.amazon.com/Visual-Dictionary-Star-Wars-Episodes/dp/0789434814) I loved as a kid. Probably not exactly what you had in mind, but a fun mental image for me.

You could get a Bearamy build a bear and name it Jeremy Bearimy

Bearamy isn’t available on Build a Bear’s site but you can get him on Amazon

Fun outfit choices:

Looks like he's vegan, he has [Silk Chocolate Protein Nutmilk] (https://silk.com/products/chocolate-protein-nutmilk) in his hand and J U S T Chipotle Ranch dressing in his refrigerator.

I did a Janet costume for Halloween this year, and I wore this vest with this skirt. They matched pretty well. The skirt needed to be hemmed a bit.

Ah! I was searching hard for lace front and I found this:


NOBLE Lace Front Wig Princess... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MPY6YTD?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

But the color turned out not to be the dark brown I thought it was, and more of a solid black. 😂

There is a pre-order on amazon uk. The date says Jan 27 2020.

This maybe a placeholder date but im sure S3 will come to blu-ray at some point.

I bought the black and white trucker hats from amazon and then took it it to screen printing personalized shop. They had a stock graffiti looking font that looked like Jason’s hat.

Sure! The only issue I had is that the part is sewn in, so I couldn't get the hair exactly right. I settled for pinning the front to the side.

I got the vest and the skirt on Amazon. The skirt turned out to be a little darker than the vest. I got the shirt at a thrift store and altered it a bit.

You mean:

>There's a book with the same title as Chidi's lecture, What We Owe To Each Other. I've always been of the mindset that we are here for each other. When a friend lost his house and cats to fire, something truly devastating to him, he had a breakdown about how he could possibly move forward. If everything can be taken from you in a moment, what's the forking point?

>The point is to be there for each other. The point is that we're not really here for any reason. We just are. And that's okay. Make the most of it. Make someone smile. Do any small thing. It could mean nothing to anyone. And it could mean everything to just one.

There's a book with the same title as Chidi's lecture, What We Owe To Each Other. I've always been of the mindset that we are here for each other. When a friend lost his house and cats to fire, something truly devastating to him, he had a breakdown about how he could possibly move forward. If everything can be taken from you in a moment, what's the fucking point?

The point is to be there for each other. The point is that we're not really here for any reason. We just are. And that's okay. Make the most of it. Make someone smile. Do any small thing. It could mean nothing to anyone. And it could mean everything to just one.

Give a little love.
