In the debut episode of The Owedometer, host Elwood Kidd welcomes UCLA philosophy professor Pamela Hieronymi, whose work helped inspire the concepts of The Good Place. They explore the show’s central question, “What do we owe to each other?”, discuss her ideas on Evaluative and Managerial Control, and unpack the concept of “moral exhaustion.” Along the way, Pamela shares her behind-the-scenes experiences, her thoughts on the pilot episode’s moral dilemmas, and moments of kindness that shaped her life.
