The greater good (the greater good)

Still actually laugh out loud, not just breathe out through my nose, every time I remember this exists.

The Good Place helped me understand that being a good person isn’t necessarily about being good all the time. It’s about being a better person than you were yesterday, for the right reasons.

I listened to Mike Schur’s audiobook about what he learned about moral philosophy in the process of making the show, and that really influenced my thinking and behaviour as well. Really worthwhile.

Principal was fired by the board, and then immediately sued the school for wrongful dismissal. It was a landmark case and ended up on national news. The principal won and the school went broke. It was the best school in town until then: all the good teachers quit and went elsewhere taking many students with them because parents didn’t want their kids in a broke school with only the crappy teachers left.
