Humanity, technology and the complexity threshold
I believe that complexity is in the eye of the observer and controller. I believe that God created everything for the benefit of humanity.
Genesis 1:26-28
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, [b] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

People have a complexity threshold.
When we make decisions we are ruling over something. Therefore, complexity is likely most relevant at the point of decision. I define complexity as the number of things that are relevant at any given moment. Typically the moment is that moment of decision. However, it could be a moment of analysis where we are observing to discover that which is true, which then puts us into the complexity equation because we are now observing, which could influence the confluence of interdependencies. Humanity creates technology to increase their complexity threshold.
