:[Describe panel here]
:God, why do bad things happen to good people?
:There's your problem. The line running from vir tue to happiness is frayed pretty bad.
:Hold up, lemme take the lid off and... ah.
:Normally you want that one real tight. Otherwise, things get so people are happy or even just indifferent to suffering, and they do fine. No feedback.
:Meanwhile you're gonna have people loading up virtue all day long and getting no reward, either worldly or transcendent. Sheesh!
:You can run things like this a while, but eventually you get a situation where, so to speak, the wicked prosper and the faithless live at ease.
:Can you fix it?
:It's pretty beat up, man. Tell you what, I can wrap the connection here in an afterlife where the righteous gain eternal bliss while evil ones suffer torment eternal.
:What about edge cases, like those who die too young to be truly virtuous, or lives spent badly that were only turned around at the end?
:I'll run a mercy override and flush them into the good place every six months or so.
:Can we not say "flush"?
:They shall be born again!
