T-Rex: Plato was a philosopher guy who said perfect dudes don't exist. Rather, all dudes are imperfect instantiations of the perfect IDEAL of dudes, the essential dude, intangible essence of dudeness!
T-Rex: Plato also said things like "I'm hungry, guys, frig!" but we're not remembering him for that right now!
T-Rex: Ours is an imperfect world, and as such, there's no perfect dudes in it. All the dudes we have are imperfect instances - copies, if you will - of the ideal dude, who is so great he can't even EXIST.
Dromiceiomimus: But what about if you and I have different ideas about what the perfect dude is?
Dromiceiomimus: It's just I'm - I'm pretty sure we do.
Utahraptor: Plato really said this about... dudes?
T-Rex: Okay, NO, not technically.
T-Rex: He was actually talking about everything, but that includes dudes! I used dudes because it's an example EVERYONE can get behind.
Utahraptor: Wouldn't circles be a better example? We can all imagine a perfect circle, but we can't draw one.
T-Rex: Um, computers can??
Off panel: Those are pixelated if you look closely, T-Rex! And before you say "robots can", they still draw them on some medium, and that's made of atoms.
T-Rex: And atoms are NATURE'S pixels! You just proved my case for me! Awesome!
T-Rex: Okay now, bring it back to dudes!!
