Everyone has their own brain and perspectives, so we all subjectively value different content for our own reasons. Appreciation of this is baked in to the design of Hive's Proof of Brain algorithm. One of the under-rated attractors for Steem/Hive is that stakeholders can not only receive rewards for creating content but they can also promote lines of thinking and messages online. The mainstream media systems are totally dominated by wealthy groups/individuals that heavily warp the messages from behind the scenes, to try to achieve their goals in society, so this kind of thing is nothing new. The difference here is that anyone can buy in and essentially 'buy advertising' through curation of the topics and messages that they want to promote. A beautiful part of Hive is that creators can receive support and funding without even being in contact with their supporters and get amplified just as a natural result of the resonance between themselves and other stakeholders.
The resonator account aims to manually curate content creators that excel in communicating topics and messages that are 'high priority' for humanity but which would not get the exposure they deserve otherwise.
Most of us understand the extent to which the banking system and corrupt power structures are behind many of humanity's problems. @Cahlen's choice to experiment with designing his life in a way that completely removes himself from the grip of these groups is one that could potentially teach many of us to do similar in our own ways. By showing us what is possible, he/we could therefore make a dent in the economic and power problems faced by so many of us in an empowering way, without waiting for someone else to solve the problem for us. This deserves as much support as we can offer!
As we have said from the beginning - solve problems for humanity and @resonator will help you!
