@mikemccaffrey @EmilyEnough The "you can write natural language queries" idea has always gotten a response from me of "why the fuck would I want to do that?" Standard search engine queries and stuff are so much easier.

@gourd @mikemccaffrey @EmilyEnough "I don't want to spend thirty minutes learning! I don't want to read a guide! I don't want to learn how to use a tool! I'm afraid of learning!" People are taught to be uncurious & to be terrified of learning things now. Maybe the reason most people don't complain about search engines being nonfunctional now is because most people do not use search engines, libraries, or other methods of seeking information. They're ok with not knowing. They prefer to not know. Very dystopian.

@gourd @mikemccaffrey @EmilyEnough I completely agree, and what is "natural language" anyway?! Sounds like an ableist agenda, right?
