I wouldn’t say “complete” can even be sufficiently defined in this case. Every functional definition I can think of has a limiting factor.
Let’s try to define knowledge. What kind of information qualifies? We can usually think of important, useful info like physics and medicine. But what about other data, like sports game stats, atmospheric sensor readings, or even something more esoteric, like the location data of every object on earth.
And even if we could have the information of every single thing at any particular time, what about when things change in the next second? And the one afterwards?
Essentially, nothing will ever be “complete”. Thanks for listening to my rant on semantics.
It’s just endlessly quotable, on top of being an absolute delight to watch! I still sneak in a few phrases from the movie in daily life, such as “negative, I am a meat popsicle” and “Aziz, light!”
