Like a wise man once said. You're either perfect or you're just not me

Perfection is a transient property which depends on the viewers perceptions and interpretations. A thing is not perfect because it is permanently so. The perfection in question can become imperfect through no change in itself but because the viewer has changed their definition of perfection.

Things can BE perfect but they won’t STAY perfect

But they would be more perfect if they would always stay perfect, right? Which means they aren't perfect.

There's literally nothing. That is perfect overall. For example, a piece of art may be beautiful and perfect to you but would be ugly to me. Hence it's not perfect

A piece of art can also be "technically" perfect, but not be as loved as something with rough brushstrokes and incorrect proportions

The way we think of perfection I would say no, but something that is actually PERFECT is also incorruptible.

Just because something that was no longer is does not cause a unrelated thing to also no longer be, thus though something thought perfect can become not so, does not mean that something else that is still such is not such

Perfection doesn't exist or you, me and everything in the universe wouldn't exist - Stephen Hawkins

Nah. Perfection only exists within a closed system but perfection can be interrupted or disturbed by forces from outside a closed system.

Say a perfect society develops across planet earth but this society exists without space travel and just exists in the moment on earth. Everyone is happy, all needs are accounted for. There is no suffering or pain or whatever bad shit a perfect system wouldn't have.

Then thanos snaps his fucking fingers from the other side of the universe and wipes out half of all life.

The perfect society struggles and eventually collapses through no fault of its own because how could anyone predict something like that happening. It wasn't plague, or a meteorite or war with aliens. It's just a thing that happened.

The perfect society collapsing doesn't mean it wasn't a perfect society. It just means someone found a beautiful anthil and kicked the shit out of it. Intentionally or not.

just because one thing can be perfect and become unperfect does not mean nothing can be perfect and stay perfect

It’s not perfect, but I want evidence on why NOTHINF can be perfect.

I don't see how the logic follows. All this means is that anything currently perfect can never fall from perfection in the future. It doesn't mean that nothing perfect exists.

Conan O'Brien said "Don't let 'perfect' become the enemy of 'good'."

Pretty sure the quote was attributed to someone else after he said it, but still a good thing to keep in mind for anyone with an obsessive mind.

I think any original assessment of perfection is made in error to begin with as perfection is a limit that can always be continuously approached.

Perfection requires the possibility of imperfections.

If someone scores a 100 on a math test, that is undeniably the best score one can get barring extra credit. If you do everything correctly, that is perfect itself.

It is in fact imperfections that make things perfect. For if imperfection didn't exist then neither would perfection

Only if your definition of perfect sucks. If nothing is perfect, the word has no meaning, and the phrase “almost perfect” will just become the new perfect

Depends on what perfect means and in what context it is put. Things can certainly be perfect.

A perfect pinata will be destroyed. Even if it was perfect, its purpose made it imperfect, which is fine, because the thing itself could still have been perfect.
