Yes, The Good Place is good - good thinking, good storytelling.
Regarding how we choose our screen portals: so often it's by how it amplifies our most habituated psychic state: justified, or outraged, or smug, or suspicious, or safe, or fearful.... What would it be like if we chose our media—and everything, for that matter— by how fruitfully it made us more present—present to ourselves, to our neighbors, to strangers, to the world?
Exactly — this is so central to my present concern, being a media maker and a media marketer, particularly. Very few of us are going to retire our screens, so I'm really interested in how we can become more human through them. Would love to hear more of your thoughts.

Love the meditation.
I'll look for a A Good Place.
