A perfect physical world would have to exist independently for each individual, to cater to that individual's desires and urges, without restriction and without consequence for anyone else. It would be a bit like if everyone was given their own parallel earth (which is quite a fine planet as it is, by the way) with which they could do anything they wanted. On a dictator's earth, he could rule over everyone and do whatever he wanted to do, whatever he felt made the world perfect for him. However, these other consciousness bodies and physical things only exist in their own dimensions, and he is given the perfect illusion that they exist in his own.
So that tree in the forest, maybe it wants to get really big and grow lots of fruit and be the best place on earth for all the animals to live and play in. Maybe it wants to be the foundation on which the new human supercities are built. And it can have all that in its own parallel dimension.
Given all this, a good question would be whether the people who are not the center of the dimension (existing outside the perceiver's consciousness space) are actually taking part in it, or if it is all just a clever illusion given to the current dimension's central perceiver. This is getting a bit solipsistic, but it is the only way for everyone to live in a perfect physical world, where everything is made available to them free of charge and free of effort.
You can think of the current world as what would happen if every one of these dimensions existed within the same space; i.e., each individual does exist in this singular, unified dimension, and therefore your actions do create consequences for other individuals. Then it becomes a matter of effort and performance. There is no way to live in this world without providing some kind of performance, whether that be the beggar's heart-wrenching pleas, the rockstar's literal performance, the grocery store cashier's quick-handed bag-shuffling, the gas station clerk turning to grab a box of cigarettes off the shelf, the yogic meditation and exercise, even someone who inherits billions of dollars at birth will have a performance of some kind required in order to continue to exist, even if that performance is only giving instructions to servants.
I like to think of my life as a performance. Effort does bring material wealth, and it can also bring other kinds of wealth. So your world can be as perfect as you'd like it to be. Or maybe it's as perfect as your performance?
I think "better world" because for all we know the word perfect might not apply to life.
The difficulty is you might say "less competition, more equality" but this being a starcraft website, we all know that competition has its benefits as well as its costs.
Heaven on Earth or in some afterlife as an ideal is going to be subjective, at least in terms of what a person would desire in such a place. Simply put, one person's enjoyment comes at the cost of another's suffering, and the luxuries and benefits one gains would come from compensation at someone else's labor and probably, pain. Now, would that be the heaven for the person on the other end, I doubt it. Even if the heaven as conceptualized in Revelations, with streets paved of gold, twelve gem stones on each door and a place where everyone is happy, it may not satisfy those who expected a heaven more humbler and less of some Greek paradise with earthly pleasures (though I take it that the imagery was more metaphorical of heaven's beauty than anything). Now, if heaven is truly a place where everyone is happy, and not at the cost of one's happiness, it would either be a private or a subjective one, where one can fulfill their desires without suffering, but then again, there are sadists who enjoy inflicting pain on others, so this could be null. So as far as I know, heaven is a subjective view on Earth, and to an extent, the afterlife. And as for heaven in, well, heaven, it would likely be a place where one can reside in peace and joy in God, lifeforce, etc, and not at the expense of another's happiness, so to me, an afterlife that is simple and not based in material or earthly needs would be best.
(P.S. This brings up a question I've always had in my head for a while, but what do we end up physically if the Christian view of heaven proves to be correct. From my readings of Old and New Testament, I don't recall any writings on what you exactly appear as in heaven. Do you materialize in your prime years, the age you died at, or as a child? I'd find it funny if heaven ends up more like some nursing home or daycare, but probably we would end up being immaterial or something.)
I am not a philosopher but I just want to say that a perfect world cannot exist because humans are imperfect and therefore a perfect world would mean no humans but if that was true then I would not exist either so this sentence would never be written.
If today a group of explorers stumbled upon paradise, they would think it would be a scary uncivilized place and immediately start to destroy paradise. You can still see this in action today every time a "civilization" spreads into the area of hunter-gatherer peoples, because that is exactly the lifestyle Adam and Eve would have lived. The hunter-gatherer peoples will either be displaced, assimilated or conquered and paradise will be turned into a place that looks just like your average neighbourhood before long.
I know you're out there...I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of us, you're afraid of change...I don't know the future...I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end, I came here to tell you how this is going to begin. Now, I'm going to hang up this phone, and I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you...a world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. A world...where anything is possible.
Where we go from there...is a choice I leave to you...

I find drunk people who asymptotically move towards the table they're sleeping over without ever actually touching it very fascinating. But that might just be me.

A perfect world would be one whereby there would be no racial/balance complaints on SC2 and SC2 was a subject in schools with a thriving industry to support it >:
