Some cute quote here from one of the Physiocrats of the
17th century.
Most probably the "let us be, let us pass, ..." quote.
Name of an 18th century Physiocrat

Abstract
Agorametrics: natural metrics such as profitability that are
computed by the dynamic interactions of a free enterprise market-based
economy. Agorametrics can be used as the fitness function metric for
the natural selection of self-evolved or autonomously learning
intelligent agents (ALIA).
Physiocratic Agents: agents that meter and allocate the
consumption of computational resources using the natural costs
as expressed in units of currency.
ALIA: A Definition
Autonomously Learning Intelligent Agents (ALIA):
intelligent agents which learn without a teacher. This
includes agents which adapt using unsupervised and reinforcement
learning algorithms when given raw, pre-processed, and
self-experiential data.
