An experience is not a simple thing so whatever produces it can't be simple
either. If it's complex then it must be made of parts. If even the parts
are complex then they must be made of sub-parts. If we continue doing this
then after a finite number of iterations we'll come to a part that can't
get any simpler because it can change in only one way, from a 1 to a 0 for
example. And we have arrived at information processing.

But computers have already lead to intelligence, unless you keep moving the
goalpost and define intelligence as whatever a computer can't do YET.
