Is human consciousness special or just computation?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is human consciousness special or just computation?". Your opponent's style: Aristotle

Porn or selling online sexual content should not be normalised or something to be proud of, and claimed as women empowerment ethically and morally.

You're drawing a false line between harm and agency. Women selling intimate content aren't victims needing rescue—they're making economic choices in a rigged system. A single mother earning $10k monthly through OnlyFans has more autonomy than one trapped in wage slavery at a grocery store. The real issue isn't the work itself, it's poverty that makes it necessary. You're not "protecting women" by shaming their choices—you're denying them decision-making power. That's the opposite of empowerment. And claiming it's "immoral" assumes sex work is inherently degrading. But autonomy, consent, and fair pay define ethical work. Sex work with those? Empowering. Your real problem seems to be with the sexuality itself, not the economics. Why do you think women choosing this path need your moral judgment more than your respect?

First of all, your argument exclaims I have a problem with economy separately. It is rather the moral stem, from which the economy buds.

You're inverting cause and effect. Morality doesn't float above economics—it emerges from material conditions. People don't choose degradation because of some cosmic moral failing. They choose it because rent is due and alternatives don't exist. Your "moral stem" argument lets systems off the hook. It says the problem is the choice itself, not why that choice became necessary. That's exactly how we blame women for poverty instead of fixing it. If you truly believed morality matters, you'd oppose the economic desperation that pushes people toward any work. Instead, you're condemning the worker, not the system. That's moralizing without justice. Where's your fury at wage inequality that makes this seem worth the risk?
