perfection? bliss? completeness? contentment? not wanting anything? In Enterprise, when the replicator (machine) was invented, man's desire for material things, to strive for more money vanished since the replicator can create anything.... coffee, medicine, spaceships, human cells, etc. Man's logical next step (in Enterprise) was to reach for the stars. What if there are no more stars to reach? And the replicator is now almost a reality with the advent of nanotechnology. Can we ever reach a state of perfection since it's our nature to strive for excellence? From the stone age to the nuclear age to the nanotech (?) age to the next whatever.... man continually finds solution to every problem thrown at him. Even cancer, aids, etc will have it's day... Can we ever reach a state of perfection?

No.
Because perfection is a flaw in itself.
Perfection is devoid of individuality.

we cannot enter a state of perfection for a couple of reasons. First, man is always striving toward perfection. If they reach it, than they have nothing to strive for, no goals, no dreams. Also, that does not solve the problem of man vs. man. conflict. Even if every goal is reched, that is still not saying that men won't still fight with eachother, or argue with eachother. To eliminate this problem, every living being in the universe would have to disappear except for one. This ensures no conflict of man vs. man, man vs. beast, or man vs. society.
So, the only way to perfection is to eliminate all other life, and solve every problem in the universe. Think about it; youre all alone, nothing to work towards, no one to talk to, no love, no fun, no friends, just you. (also, perfection would have to include immortality, which would not be good in this situation)
There is no such thing as perfection, and even if it was possible, why would any man want to live like this?

Your question seems to have a number of imbedded questions.
Will we ever know everything? No, not until we reach Heaven, at least.
Will we ever have enough wealth to be satisfied? No, not the Natural man, anyway. To most all of us the answer to the question, "How much money is enough?" is "More."
The real questions might be, "Can we ever be satisfied with our relationship to God, mankind and our univrerse?" " Can we ever be satisfied with what we have achieved?" The answers to those questions is a resoundind "Yes".
We can be satisfied with our relationship to God when we have received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, have confessed our sin and been forgiven and have learned to walk with Him daily having no concious sin which we have not confessed to Him.
We can be satisfied with our relationship to mankind when we are satisfied with ourselves. Again, that comes from accepting who we are and who we have become, mistakes, sins and all and are able to forgive others as we are forgiven. That means holding no grudges, no anger and accepting others for who they are. God took a long time working on us, accepting us as we were and as we are. Can we do less for others?
There's more. Write back if you're interested.

Perfection is an anti-solution. You cant reach perfection, because reaching perfection means having nothing at all. If man lives to be perfect, then being perfect means man has no reason to live.

When you strive towards perfection, you're aiming at reaching a state defined by certain, non-perfect individuals. This means that, as long as perfection is defined by imperfect beings, our struggle has a wrong target.

in the sense of flawless, no. in the sense of completeness, yes,
but only in Christ. bliss, contentment, yes. Read Phillipians 4:11.
Physically, no. Spiritually, yes. And that is most important. See Romans 8:18 and 2 Corinthians 4:18

Perfection is static and absolute while humanity and way of existence is approximately substitute and evolution. i think of there are greater suited ideas and worse ones yet i do no longer think of perfection is attainable, because no 2 human beings see the international in precisely the comparable way who's to declare what perfection even is? in one in each and every of his songs, Sting writes: to seek for perfection Is all ok yet to look for Heaven Is to stay right here in Hell nutrition for concept...

perfection. Is when you have nothing of the former to reference with. It is purest in unseeing , and only in awareness of the highest dimension allowed thought to leave behind all earthly things . this is the only perfection we can know to be and so we must in ourselves simply be thought in the end.

No state of perfection is perfect. My version of perfection will always be different from yours, and of course, since I AM perfect, your version is, of course, extremely flawed. Compared to me, you are but a pale piece of pigs ear. I am right. As always.
