kinda, but I want to see the result with no interest in their motivations. I don’t care if you’re a kindly gramma who bakes cookies for the neighbor kids if that is outweighed by your church donations that (unbeknownst to gramma) fund hate groups. Nor do I care if you spitefully convince your county/borough to designate your hated neighbor’s property a ‘wetland’ such that the land loses value and can’t be developed.
What you described is literally The Good Place’s scoring system. They even have a joke about losing points for eating a (really good) chicken sandwich, because buying the sandwich means you hate gay people. It is revealed pretty late in the show that nobody has actually gotten into the Good Place in a long time, because the modern world ensures all of your actions (no matter how altruistic) will basically always result in a net negative point gain. Basically, grandma altruistically baked cookies for the neighborhood kids, but the chocolate chips were made with unethically sourced cocoa, the fuel she used to make the cookies went towards polluting the environment, and she forgot that one of the neighborhood kids has celiacs and can’t eat gluten.
So basically The Good Place’s score system.
