"Bigger" is stronger than "biggest." There is absolutely nothing you can say to change my mind.

If I say "biggest x vs bigger x" logically this is a contradiction. If I say "bigger x vs bigger x" this is also a contradiction. If I say "bigger x vs big x", "bigger x" is bigger. "Bigger" is always either bigger or leads to a contradiction. If is say "biggest x vs biggest x", they are equal. If I say "biggest x vs bigger x", it leads to a paradox. If I say, "biggest x vs big x", they are either equal or "biggest x" is bigger. "Biggest" is therefore either bigger, equal, or leads to a paradox. If you compare each case individually, you will realize that "bigger" is either equally strong or stronger than "biggest" in every case.

Another way of looking at it is by considering what each statement excludes: "Biggest" only excludes the possibility that something is bigger than it. "Bigger" excludes both the possibility that something is bigger than it as well as the possibility that something is equal to it.

Ergo "bigger" carries more semantic strength than "biggest."

I'm looking for a cult to join

What I'm looking for:

It should ideally be a smaller cult, it should be rather fun and light-hearted and there should be regular meet-ups, where we play games, come up with creation myths, make art together or do other cool stuff (Tuesday to Thursday I don't have time, so keep that in mind; also has to be in the evening, unless the meet-ups are on the weekend). I would generally prefer the meet-ups to be in person, but since not everyone lives where I live, we can also have them on zoom or discord.

About me:

I am a 20-year-old student of philosophy and English. I am incredibly gullible, making me an easy target for indoctrination, I grow attached to people very quickly, meaning I will easily become emotionally dependent on other cult members, and I'm fully motivated to actively engage in cult activity.

If no cult like the aforementioned exists, but there a still enough people interested in such a cult, I would consider trying to start a new cult with the participants.

Does anyone know of a purification ritual that ends with the act of saying goodbye?

I recently read Janet Adelman's essay on "hamlet" and I kinda wonder how hamlet saying goodbye to his mother in the last scene fits into her reading. She argues that in the closet scene hamlet fully manages to psychologically separate maternal sexuality from the figure of the pure mother. However in the last scene when his mother dies he says: "wretched queen, adieu!" Can this be seen as the last step of a purification ritual, banishing maternal sexuality and fully separating it from the mother? Are there actual purification rituals that end like this? Or am I just tripping?

Circle of trust? I don't have that, I have a rhombus of tolerance, a triangle of love and rivalry and a semicircle of "I saw that shit."

if 3 is in 1st place then 2 becomes entirely obsolete and does not deserve to be anywhere on the list.

If 2 is in 1st place, 3 is around 12th place.

I had one of my English classes yesterday and it felt very academic, we talked about structuralism. Sometime I wish I could take all of tumblr into my classes, you guys would have loved it.

Did you see that Magic: the Gathering now has a game state in which you need to prove that there are an infinite number of twin primes to win? I can explain it more if you are interested.

(With reference to this post here.)

By all means, please tell us about the Magic: the Gathering combo which requires proving the twin prime conjecture in order to win.

I think 100 men vs 1 gorilla is not even a question. Like, 2 perfectly coordinated circus acrobats could probably beat a gorilla.
