What makes you think you can't program in an OO manner in plain machine
code?

According to the book "Murphy's Laws Complete" by Arthur Bloch, these
aren't the laws of Thermodynamics, but rather "Ginsberg's Theorem". And
there even is "Freeman's commentary on Ginsberg's Theorem":
Every major philosophy that attempts to make life seem meaningful is
based on the negation of one part of Ginsberg's Theorem:
1. Capitalism is based on the assumption that you can win.
2. Socialism is based on the assumption that you can break even.
3. Mysticism is based on the assumption that you can quit the game.
