  • I think of resonance as being aligned at multiple dimensions and also good.
    • But resonance technically just means aligned at multiple dimensions.
    • Sometimes that emergent result is bad.
    • For example, soldiers marching across a suspension bridge causing it to collapse.
    • Resonance tells you two things match, not that they're good.
      • Homeostasis doesn't ask if the baseline is healthy, just that it keeps it going.
      • Resonance locks different dimensions.
      • It's important they lock into something good, like your aspirations.
      • That's the thing to anchor off of.
    • Tech addiction is a kind of limbic resonance expanded to a grotesque society scale.
      • Tech companies find a weird human addiction and resonate it to an inhuman scale.
    • "unregretted user-minutes" is actually a good metric, if it didn't have unfortunate associations…
    • Does it resonate with your limbic system or your values?
      • If it resonantes with your values, then that's what matters.
