Objects Choose Their Own Types

I totally agree. Additionally, I think we should remove static typing. We shouldn't be telling objects what they are until they decide for themselves, at runtime. Segregating objects based on type? I think I've heard that before...

A screenshot of a social media comment where someone humorously compares programming concepts like static typing and runtime object types to personal identity and self-determination. The joke comes from treating software objects as if they should be free to decide what they are, making a serious-sounding programming argument absurdly philosophical.
