The Good Place made a point of this! They (kind of arbitrarily ) placed the last date it was possible to exist without exploiting other people’s misfortune in some way back in the 1600s.
- carapace 7y agoMy sister watches that show and... SPOILER ALERT!! I caught the episode where they detail how every act you perform in modern life has so many negative consequences and repercussions that everyone on Earth has, for centuries, wound up going to Hell. It haunts me because it's true. (Not the going-to-hell bit, the part about how things are so interconnected and so fucked up that you can't wipe your ass without damaging the environment, and that's even before you get to the luxury phones made by de facto slave labor.) "There's got to be a better way!"
- Kaiyou 7y agoIt's the way of the world. Instead of trying to change the world, you could try adjusting your moral framework to be more in line with the world. Also, trying to change the world without first changing yourself is futile. And if you changed your way to put the benefits of others over yourself it would just amount to suicide, leaving the world as it is.
