Do you think this person exists?


Do you believe there is someone out there that is better than you at every aspect of life? More intelligent, more athletic, cooks better, more attractive, more social, healthier, etc etc etc. Or do you believe you could best this hypothetical person in at least ONE aspect of life? I don't care if it's something as small as "I bet I could beat them at Super Smash Bros". Does someone exist on earth that is better than you at absolutely every facet of life?

Theres way too many variables at play for the answer to be yes.

Absolutely not. At most things? Sure, but there are VERY few people in this world who are better than me at music.

No way. My profession is fairly specialized and it is impossible to believe that someone is better than me at my job, more athletic than me, and also better than me at Age of Empires 2.

It's trivial for me to personally confirm that there are no players better than me at both Necrodancer AND Zelda 1 or Zelda 2 randomizer, let alone thousands of other things

Nah, and it's probably a "no" for every adult of able body and mind. Hell, I'm probably Top 20 in the WORLD at GameFAQs Contests knowledge. How many of those 19 guys can beat me in Smash? Maybe ten. How many of those ten can beat me at arm wrestling? Maybe one. Is that one guy better at everything else in the world?

fuck the answer might be yes

I can say with certainty that the answer is No.

It was "yes" until March 17th... but never again.

I will take no further questions.

Theres way too many variables at play for the answer to be yes.

The very first response is basically my thought as well. If there is someone out there with enough knowledge about GameFAQS to predict a character battle better than me, can dunk a basketball better than me, can intubate a patient better than me, and also can recite the lines of my favorite niche movie better than me, let him/her step forward.

Yes probably.

There are very few things I excel at, and in my experience, people who excel at one thing usually can out pace me on most fronts.

i was gonna say yes but shit i might be bailed out by "gamefaqs contest knowledge/trivia"

that's pretty sad

Well, I used to be "not entirely atrocious" at OoT speedrunning but it's been years so who knows if I could use that as an emergency card at this point.

When you use things like this as gauges as being "better", it's not really any different than saying things like "Nobody else knows their way around my house better than me", which seems like a cheat. I mean, it's technically right, but it's also not something anyone cares about or considers a skill.

Nobodys going to pay you for knowing your house really well though, whereas gamefaqs contests have prizes, therefore knowing how to do well in them is literally valuable.

In most aspects of life, I hover somewhere between average and below average. It's easy to imagine that there's somebody who's simply a better specimen in every way, shape, and form.

Based solely on the OP, there is no cheat though. TC didn't specify it had to be within a very wide range of skills excluding day to day monotony.

The differences in the yes and no are either to be interpreted literally or philosophically, but the statement of rule as to what counts was left vague enough that either interpretation should still be quantifiably, 'no.'

Well shit, guess I also have to vote no!

In all due seriousness, this is actually what convinced me to place said vote when I hadn't before.
