# Incomprehensible box is incomprehensible!
The idea of perfection should be repulsive to all of us. Its the little flaws which inspire and exite, only evil would make such a hollow offering. :D

The box could be offering perfection in the form of beautiful darkness, complete non existance, death. Or maybe a sea of jaffa cakes...

# I don't think perfect *should* be repulsive, since we constantly seek improvements as if we were aiming at something.
But it would leave us with nothing to do, which would be awkward. Nothing to think about, even. Ouch.
Still, I'm going to soldier on in the direction of things improving, for want of any better ideas. If I become perfect I'll just have to deal with it.

# perfection is relative to opinion and point of view
and is unmeasurable really. I love it when religouse folk refer to god as perfect. Thats just grand that is! :D

# Ah well
I'm an objectivist, and you're apparently not. I don't think we need to know anything about perfection for it to exist.

# They seem to call it "philosophical reaslism" instead.
Ha, "realism is contrasted with anti-realism." It's probably more fun being an anti-realist. Might explain Catnipppp.
