Is there such a thing as perfect? And if there is, how do you define it?

If perfect means living according to Nature’s laws, as indigenous people have done for thousands of years, maybe that is what could be thought of as ‘perfect’? Because to be perfectly aligned with your local ecosystem, to live in harmony and equilibrium with it, is how life is sustained. And becomes effectively immortal.

This leaves cultural notions about perfection as some unattainable paragon of virtue at the door. Nature is perfectly imperfect. What more do we need?
