I edited out some comments that propagate the false myth that faction SE aversions have an effect on diplomacy; they do not. Miriam has no particular problem with another faction running Value: Knowledge. Zhakarov has no problem with another faction running Fundamentalism. Morgan is no more opposed to other factions running Planned economies than he is to other factions running Green economies. And so on. If you doubt me, load up the game, run Fundamentlism and talk to Zhakarov (or Knowledge and talk to Miriam). Be sure you\\\'re not running Power or Wealth when talking to Zack, or Democracy or Police State when talking to Miriam. Note that neither of them has any \\\"change your SE\\\" message for their aversion.

Mind you, the Aversions are still set up to create rivalries between various factions. Zhakarov may not have a problem with another faction running Fundamentalism, but because Miriam can never run Knowledge, Zack will never love her. Same with Miriam; Zack can never run Fundamentalism to appease Miriam. Lal can never run Police State to appease Yang, nor can Yang run Democracy... though both can (and often do) choose Fundamentalism, making it possible to not rival with Miriam. Santiago has no built in rival; she can access any SE choice, and anyone can access Power (though she and Zack will tend to rival). Dierdre can never choose Free Market to court Morgan\\\'s favor, though it is interesting to note that Morgan *can* choose Green economics (and they can substitute Wealth for Free Markets from a strategic perspective), making the Gaians and the Morganites the only rivals who are able to form an ideological alliance, with a player at the helm of the Morganites.
