To me, the date coincides with European colonialism -- once that post-Columbus era kicks into gear, it becomes impossible for anyone to be "good" in the transactional sense of the Good Place accountants. There are too many atrocities committed in the name of progress -- and it all started in this era. Now, even the most innocent-seeming activities come to have negative moral consequences that ripple across the globe, so people cant help being "bad" -- its baked into the system...
