The Good Place is a heaven-like world for the best people in society to go to after they die. These people can have or do anything their wildest imagination desires. To get in, you need to have a very large 'score'. Every action you take on Earth will earn or lose you points based on how good that action is for others and for the world as a whole.
For example, carefully stepping over a flower bed will earn you 2.09 points and being rude to a waiter would lose you 6.83 points. On a larger scale, ending slavery would earn you 814,292.09 points, and committing genocide would lose you 433,115.25 points.
For those who don't get in - that is, around 99% of the population - go to the "Bad Place". In the Bad Place, people are punished and remain miserable for eternity. Assume, for the purposes of this debate, the reasons for people's actions are irrelevant. No matter why they do an action, they will get the points for that action.
