A Theist Wrote:As long as there's opinions, there'll never be a perfect thought. One example; in a political contest there's opposing parties. Each of the parties have different agendas. Both parties promise a new direction, but both have different thoughts on what that direction may be, or where it might lead. One group of supporters will contend that one candidate has the perfect idea, while the opposing supporters will contend that their opponents just suck.
Depends on what you mean by "perfect"... I'm going to first assume that by 'perfect', you mean 'without faults'... which would make "perfect" a really strange word to ever need to say.
If A is perfect... it is only necessarily perfect in the sense of its being A (For then it would, without any possibility of fault, be A). If there is a flaw that prevents A from being perfect, then it is not A to begin with.
One might use 'perfect; in reference to a number of things. Take "a perfect test score"... while this is to be understood that the evaluated individual has correctly answered every question/performed every operation to the test specifications... all that it necessarily means is that the test score was a test score. So long as there was no difference between what A is and what A defines: a thing is perfect.
And as a second definition... even if "perfect" means "As good as it is possible to be"... how can you be a better circle than a circle? A better test score than a test score? If one can be a better jumper than a jumper by being able to jump higher... then how could perfection even be possible? One could infinitely become more "perfect" as their jumps carried them further... but perfection under such a concept would be impossible. So essentially there are two options I have thought of in regards to 'perfection'... either that it is impossible... or that it is only in reference to the law of identity.
I am of course open to more understandings of the word
Assuming that perfection is not impossible... I don't see why differing perfect arguments/thoughts can't be both perfect... could they be improved upon? Perhaps. Is one a sounder argument than the other? Perhaps. But does that apply as to them both being perfect arguments or/and perfect thoughts? Not at all.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
