kevin simler@kevinsimler·Nov 13, 2015Replying to @vgr@vgr @ben_mathes Well, I think they gain some real power (unless backlash is particularly strong). What are you thinking re "end game"?11
Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Nov 13, 2015Replying to @kevinsimler@KevinSimler @ben_mathes I don't think they do. Controlled language is not actually power language. It can stop things but not do things.11
