Yes. They let me have my memories back of what happened when they were still working out the system—I was part of an experiment the first time I went to the afterlife. Before they switched to the new system there was a Good Place and a Bad Place. But life had become so complicated hardly anyone ever got into the Good Place by the time I lived the first time. You would do something simple like buy flowers for your mother for a gift, but instead of gaining point for being kind, you'd lose points for all the immoral choices that you were making because of the industry that grew the flowers. That kind of thing. When I went to where they were running the experiment they were trying to prove humans could improve if they learned from their experiences and the ethics behind them.
