### Discussion at [Sol 2009](/Sol_2009)
#### Participants
- [Lion Kimbro](/Lion_Kimbro)
- [Brandon CS Sanders](/Brandon_CS_Sanders)
- [Ben Sibelman](/Ben_Sibelman)
- [Brenna Waxter](/Brenna_Waxter)
- [Bonnie Sanders](/Bonnie_Sanders)

#### Discussion
- [Spiriata](/Spiriata) may be defined by strong leadership such that you "either love it or run away screaming"
- [Brandon](/Brandon): By contrast, [SolSeedMovement](/SolSeedMovement)'s goal is to awaken more and more people to [possibilities](/possibilities)
- [Brenna](/Brenna): Lots of people have no families who love them quasi-unconditionally and make them feel radiant
- Across-style management get's more employee buy-in than top-down
- However, input from all [SolSeedMovement](/SolSeedMovement) members shouldn't ever remove the core idea of [spreading life throughout the galaxy](/TheDestiny)
  - Hopefully it will serve as inspiration for projects in the present, such as traveling to another country to [bring life](/Bringing_life) by working on a [water project](/CleanDrinkingWater)
  - But [Brenna](/Brenna) doesn't buy into the same method of going to space
    - While the Second Coming may seem absurd to us, space colonization seems absurd to her
    - There may come a time when people learn to live in perfect community
    - But maybe Jesus had space travel in mind?
      - "We were created to create"
- [Bonnie](/Bonnie) sees [SolSeedMovement](/SolSeedMovement) as a way for members to encourage each other's dreams
- Make sure the language of the [starfaring](/starfarers) story is inclusive rather than "[otherizing](/otherizing)"
  - [Bonnie](/Bonnie): Provide the safety to try uncomfortable things
  - [Brenna](/Brenna): Examples include not bashing people's politics
  - [Brandon](/Brandon): By contrast, [Lion Kimbro](/Lion_Kimbro)'s "what makes me feel radiant" speech described a super-strong attachment to a particular way of seeing the world
    - This distracts from any "building-up" contribution to the group that the message may contain (vs. "tearing-down")
    - We should practice being open and not so attached to our specific way of seeing the world
    - The diversity of worldviews within the [SolSeedMovement](/SolSeedMovement) creates greater [possibilities](/possibilities)
  - **Possible policy:**
    - Stop some conversations if they can't be done in inclusive ways
    - Proscribe "[otherizing](/otherizing)" and "[wrong-making](/wrong-making)"
