I read Dmytry's post as a hint, not a solution. Since obviously pursuing complexity at "face value" would be pursuing entropy.

Yep. It'd be maximized by heating you up to maximum attainable temperature, or by throwing you in to black hole, depending to how you look at it.

We can have a low-information reference class with instances of high entropy, the "heat soup". But then, picking a reference class is arbitrary (we can contrive a complex class of heat soup flavors).
