This make me thing about dynamic programming languages. I listened to this podcast with Steven Baker (
https://open.spotify.com/episode/5X55PoHg5lhLUH7Z0IzUe7). Around 1:09 he talks about the runtime overservability of Ruby and Smalltalk.
Static language proponents live in a deterministic Matrix. They have to live with what they are. The are „human“. Dynamic language proponents live in a way more inspectable Matrix. They live with how something something behaves. They behave human.
A follow-up thought: would the agents be possible in one or the other? Would Neo be possible in one or the other?
