    This is not necessarily true. The subset [0, 1) of the real numbers has an upper bound of 1, but it does not contain its upper bound, therefore there is no maximal element. How matter how gay you are, it’s always possible to be a little gayer.

      Still, there will be someone assigned a number of gayness from [0,1) that is closest to 1, at any given moment and if there are two dimensions we could find highest and lowest from both and assign weights to each dimension to reduce it to one dimension

      I mean to be honest only [0,1) ensures that there can be gayest because if it was discrete then there could be millions having the same value

      True, but for any finite amount of numbers chosen from the interval [0, 1), one of them will be the highest (or several share the max value)
