== Meeting with John and Will ==
=== Intro to SolSeed ===
* Brandon:
** Life is precious
** Individual and group more-or-less-aliveness
** Life bursting through boundaries, ex. emergence onto land and now into space
** Life has invested in us
* Ben
** Started out as a kid who loved space exploration
** Became an environmentalist and wondered how humans can be beneficial rather than harmful to nature
*** My answer was in both traditional restoration work and bringing life to other worlds
** Discovered a group that shares this ideal
* Eric
** Also environmentalist and sci-fi fan
** Disappointed in environmental battles being always defensive, preventing harm
** Only way to create benefit instead is to bring life to space?
** Deep time story isn't over, and the most important part of it is about autotrophs (plants)
*** How can plants be better?
** Bringing life to deserts or Antarctica as well as to space
=== What should the next Terra Lumina album include? ===
* Brandon: Something to help people understand deep time
** Eric: Including the future (Freeman Dyson)
* Brandon: Structure of the human brain/mind (Jonathan Haidt)
** Also systematic flaws in human thinking
* Ben: Energy sources humans use and their consequences
* Brandon: Sequoias and other giant trees
* Ben: Science done by space probes, maybe a Mars song
=== Style for the SolSeed song ===
* Style leaning toward "From Old Creating New"
** Dramatic instrumentals inspiring sense of wonder
* Also include more "down to earth" sections? more like "Shifting Light"
* Brandon: Soaring, inspirational, building toward a climax

* Ben ... my stomache ache came back, and now I am wondering whether the dalai lama or the tree planting WITH MY FRIENDS event is more important
* Eric ... I was really distracted during this call and I want to apologize ... but it is supposed to be a work bee and I did get Brandon's cat story reedited (and the meetup adjusted) during the call
