  • Resonance is inherently positive sum.
    • Hartmut Rosa, a German sociologist, has a related notion of Resonance as the Manifesto.
    • In his version, resonance must be somewhat uncontrollable and surprising–it must come from outside.
    • If you dominate the other thing, then it can't surprise you, because you control it.
    • If your belief requires an enemy that you seek to dominate, then it can't give you real resonance, only pseudo-resonance, because your "resonance" is predicated on the alienation of others.
