That seems like a real possibility, yes. Because you're right about Chidi and surely there were many others with similar ideas of how to spend their afterlives. And I got the impression with the guy who kept asking his Janet for things, that this sort of helplessness became ingrained.

Yes, I imagine a lot of people in the GP were separated from the people they'd care about in their lifetimes. So they couldn't have been happy unless they forgot about them.

The team running GP also, as we saw, took forever to decide on anything and that anything was generally useless as well. So maybe that ethos spread.
