Let me rephrase. No one here said that complexity is consciousness. In particular, AnIdiotOnTheNet, who you replied to, did not say that complexity is conscious

Not directly. If not complexity, is it a kind of computation or something physical that makes neurons produce consciousness? Those positoins are more tough to support.
> Also, tangentially, New York's sewers aren't that complex compared to even a rat's brain.
What is the magic measure and what is magic threshold using that measure?
What about a future city's sewer system that is complex enough?
- dpark 9y agoI’m not sure what your intent is here. “Sewers are conscious” seemed to be a reductio ad absurdum but now you seem to be arguing that complexity is consciousness. Regardless, I haven’t proposed any mechanism for consciousness to arise so I don’t have any “position to support” there.
