If you murdered every murderer, you should get enough points to go to The Good Place, right?

Hypothetically speaking of course. I'm obliged by lemmy.world rules to state that I do not condone murder. πŸ˜‰

If you murder a murderer, you don't reduce the total number of murderers. You have to murder more than one, but then you're a serial killer, which is arguably worse. If you're a serial killer who only kills serial killers, then you are starting to maximize the offset. But once you fuck up and get close to being caught, so your serial killer girlfriend blows up Doakes to keep your secret safe and you pin all your murders on him, you've gone too far.

Yeah but how do you know the murderer you murdered wasn't just murdering other murderers like your murderering MO? You could still have a net sum of 0 murderers removed from society🫠

When you get to the end. You'll need a Murderer who Murders [Murders who Murders Murderers]

🫠

Then you'll have one evil Murderer, and all other evils are gone.

Wait, Yagami Light? Is that you?

Murdering them reduces the number of murderers in the world and does not undo their murders, so it’s a win win.

I learned from the new Dexter show that you have to kill three times to become a serial killer. So, it seems like two is the optimum number here, reducing the number of murderers by one and increasing the number of serial killers by none.

What if you are not a serial killer, but a parallel killer?

That's a spree killer.

Last but not least, don't forget to kill your serial killer girlfriend to tie up loose ends, and maintain superiority over other killers.
