RE: Would You Rather: Have A Perfect Mind or A Perfect Body?

in #wouldyourather7 years ago

I would have a perfect mind rather than a perfect body, Reason being I believe the mind over body concept. Everything we do, like eating , exercising, talking etc. Is controlled by our mind. So I f I have a perfect mind, I could figure out how I could make a perfect body without working out a lot. So the perfect body concept would be avhieved by perfect mind easily. You already have given the example of Sherlock holmes, Which I would have given.
Another and more powerful example is limitless, which could support my theory of achieving the perfect body by perfect mind.
Hell, I could do Angthing, Body is a very small thing to achieve then.

Well done. I agree completely. Having a perfect mind would solve the perfect body riddle as showed in Limitless movie. :)

Both of the movies as well as series are one of my favourite, if I haven't seen the breaking Bad series, I would love to say Sherlock holmes series is my Favourite, but walter white took the position, and mostly because of his cleverness, wickedness and intelligency or anything else on that series.
And I think that could be the uppermost level of Mind anybody could achieve or want to achieve in this world.

Agreed. Really, all it takes to build a great body is ambition and willpower. Strong willpower would definitely be part of a perfect mind. The question is whether the ambition would ever really be there to achieve the perfect body, would we care? Probably not.

The perfect mind would prioritize "rightly", placing the things that really do matter above the superficial. That said, we'd likely put a lot of effort into eating healthy foods, drinking enough water and getting enough sleep to maintain psychological and physiological health.

Well I disagree with you a little bit, you see, The perfect mind would not prioritize a perfect body, but would be able to achieve it. If a perfect minded person could not achieve a perfect body without doing any effort, that would be flaw in perfect minded person, And it would not be perfect anymore.

Maybe. The fact of the matter is that actual perfection doesn't exist in anything, except in our minds as a concept -- the definition of perfection is subjective and our ideas about how "high" we can reach (with our bodies, minds, technology, knowledge, etc.), and what exactly constitutes reaching perfection, are always going to be limited by the scope of our imaginations and prior experiences.

In my mind, the perfect mind makes the most efficient and positive use of energy at its disposal, but for what? I don't know, because I haven't the slightest clue what the purpose of life is, if a purpose even exists at all.

Many religions teach that the perfect use of energy is to be selfless and compassionate towards others, but for all I know, the opposite might be true. Is there any such thing as "progress" in this world, besides the superficial progress of fortifying our psyches or social status? I don't know and I'm not convinced that there's any way to ever find an answer to that question.

I am Blown away by your answer. Every word is damn true.

We have the opposite in the world - selfishness and indifference/cruelty - is this the perfect use of energy? Yes, for destruction of mankind and our planet.

I agree, but what difference does the destruction of mankind or earth make to our solar system? Galaxy? Universe?

Maybe our removal is healthy for the "planetary ecosystem". What's good for us as a species may not be the "greater good".

There seems to be a competition for most comments.
