There are finite number of possible humans due to there being a finite number of states a brain can be in.
There is an argument for moral realism that takes advantage of finiteness and computability of mental processes to show that there could be an objective morality
there are infinite ways to arrange and configure finite neurons
computability of mental processes
are mental processes entirely computable though? you kind of run into a halting-problem-style issue because if you can compute your response to anything that should imply that you can never make a decision that surprises the computation. but if you feed knowledge of the computation’s result into your decision making process you can just pick the opposite

hm? i don’t see how this is true at all. a finite of anything in a finite space can only have finite configurations.
