Leadership
From SolSeed
Participants
Discussion
- Spiriata may be defined by strong leadership such that you "either love it or run away screaming"
- Brandon: By contrast, SolSeedMovement's goal is to awaken more and more people to possibilities
- 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 members shouldn't ever remove the core idea of spreading life throughout the galaxy
- Hopefully it will serve as inspiration for projects in the present, such as traveling to another country to bring life by working on a water project
- But 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 sees SolSeedMovement as a way for members to encourage each other's dreams
- Make sure the language of the starfaring story is inclusive rather than "otherizing"
- Bonnie: Provide the safety to try uncomfortable things
- Brenna: Examples include not bashing people's politics
- Brandon: By contrast, 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 creates greater possibilities
- Possible policy:
