    Don’t ask for more pixels

    Why? Because you’re unable to use basic reverse image search or because you’re too lazy and unwilling?

    So at some point, the original screenshot was posted somewhere that doesn’t allow the words “sexuality” and “spectrum” but “gayest” is a-okay. Interesting.

          I still call it Twitter because their emails are still branded as Twitter. I don’t actually use it any more but I do get so much spam through DMs that I’m considering deleting my account. I’m mostly holding it just so nobody squats on my username.

    Still trying to wrap my head around how a partial ordering plays out here. I think it’s fair to say that for any such nonempty spectrum, there exists at least one person about whom it can be said: “nobody is gayer than they are.” Right? (even if 1 or more people are equally gay…)

      Its the difference between maximum gayness and maximal gayness. Maximum gayness is being more gay, or at least as gay, as everybody else; while maximal gayness is not being less gay than anybody else (just as you put it). Two people with maximal gayness can have incomparable gaynessess, and thats the key thing about partial orderings, this possibility of incomparability. there could be many maximally gay people. they wouldnt be equally gay, but incomparably gay.

      As long as we can put an upper bound on gayness (or more specifically on each totally ordered subset of people under the is-gayer-than relation) this follows from Zorn’s lemma.

      It’s also true by virtue of the fact that the set of all people who will have ever lived is finite, but “the existence of a maximal element in a poset” just screams Zorn’s lemma.

      Talking about the amount of alternatives doesn’t specify how many elements are contained in an alternative.
