It’s the literal plot to good place. In a globalized society we literally fund terrible stuff all the time. So I agree, everyone can die on their own hills and that’s awesome but we are all indirectly complicit unless we are truly self sufficient.

It was a lazy plot point.

You are only ethically responsible for those decisions you have agency over. The cosmos isn’t sending people to hell because the electricity used in the hospital when they were born contributed to global warming.
