Lemma 5.18.6. A finite Jacobson space is discrete.
Proof. If $X$ is finite Jacobson, $X_0 \subset X$ the subset of closed points, then, on the one hand, $\overline{X_0} = X$. On the other hand, $X$, and hence $X_0$ is finite, so $X_0 =\{ x_1, \ldots , x_ n\} = \bigcup _{i = 1, \ldots , n} \{ x_ i\} $ is a finite union of closed sets, hence closed, so $X = \overline{X_0} = X_0$. Every point is closed, and by finiteness, every point is open. $\square$
