SolSeed:Helping Life Thrive, On Earth And Beyond

SolSeed < Media < SolSeed book

In book form, the ideas that make up SolSeed will be much more "solid" than they are on this wiki--that is, while a wiki is designed to be easy to change, a book can only be revised relatively rarely. Thus, it's important to plan carefully to ensure that the book represents the best current consensus we can establish about what SolSeed is, where it came from, and what it intends to become.

Some ideas for this iteration of the book could be drawn from Ben's initial work on a previous iteration at AboutUs.org.

Purpose

The purpose of this book is to give both the rider and the elephant a clear picture of what the SolSeed experiment is and a visceral understanding of why it is important even if the person reading the book has never heard of SolSeed before. This book will inspire those who already resonate with the values of the SolSeed Movement, but don't realize that such a movement exists. It will also help us clarify our thinking about the nature of our organization and what we stand for.

Recipe for writing that engages the elephant: 1) Tell a story, 2) tease out the main point from the story, 3) illustrate the main point and a few axioms with a couple more stories.

We need to answer Why before we talk about What and How. The first part of the book addresses Why and the rest talks about How and What.
