What's happened with society is that we have created these devices, computers, which already can register and process huge amounts of information, which is a significant fraction of the amount of information that human beings themselves, as a species, can process.

When it comes to their capacity to screw things up, computers are becoming more human every day.

I would suggest, merely as a metaphor here, but also as the basis for a scientific program to investigate the computational capacity of the universe, that this is also a reasonable explanation for why the universe is complex.

Meaning is like pornography, you know it when you see it.

In order to figure out how to make atoms compute, you have to learn how to speak their language and to understand how they process information under normal circumstances.
