Micah Redding@micahtredding·Feb 9, 2017Replying to @micahtredding and @vgrI've always been first foundation, but recent re-read made me a little more sympathetic to galaxia.21
Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Feb 9, 2017Replying to @micahtreddingI'm 2nd foundation myself :D... Galaxia is basically a compassionate Christian monarchy model, so not surprised :)2
Micah Redding@micahtredding·Feb 9, 2017Replying to @vgrHaha. Yeah, I'm still not fully sold on it, though. First foundation is more Old Testament.11

Micah Redding@micahtredding·Feb 9, 2017Replying to @vgrYeah, the more I think about it, the more I'm all over the place on this one. But 1st has more artistic integrity—shame to spoil it.11
