I don't think you can say that their number is infinite. Countable, yes. But there is no rule that new people will keep spawning.
- fredilo 8mo agoIf you say that humanity will end at some point, then yes, there is only a finite number of people. This, however, does not go against my overall argument. In that case, you end up with a finite number of thoughts. That's even smaller than countable infinite and makes the real numbers even weirder.
