 This is posthuman economic warfare. To their cathedral, we not only have a bazaar, but a whole pagan countryside, a valley of lichen and earthworms, ravens and red deer, and weirder agencies still: alliances and multi-scale articulations that relate in webs of computational and protocognitive presence. Assemblages. Ethereum is a carnyx, alerting the multitude to an instrument of mutual legibility, pluralistic infrastructure for minimalistic networks of formal economic and governmental coherence without reference to world enclosing standard. Out of an era of premises of ownership of that which cannot be owned, Ethereum offers to the many worlds a permissive abundance of network wealth.

 In this moment when both the global and civilizational narratives are [up for grabs](https://x.com/0xidanlevin/status/1860490159323521376?s=46&t=pL8JEAGv2UTP16nVi8QnmQ) and (on a smaller scale) the question of an effective marketing modality for Ethereum is still an open question, a syntax for a posthuman Ethereum has the ability to answer both calls. In an effort to catalyze this, I want to conclude this essay with **three potential aesthetic and marketing paradigms for a posthuman Ethereum**.

 As much contempt as some in this ecosystem may have for post-stucturalism, any technologist interested in the cybernetic revolutions mentioned above, or any in a number of [physics](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwhTfyX9J34) or [biology](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3lsYlod5OU)-based reinterrogations of cognition and agency, has to admit that there is something strange going on when it comes to the morphogenetic properties of matter. It wouldn't out of  an ignorance of empirical reason that we would explore the literal reality of agential egregores, living thoughts, neo-animist gods and any other alien creatures that may be hiding behind the veil of language and institutional-discursive discipline. If DMT, LSD and the arts are great stages to conceive and experiment with these creatures, Ethereum is the stage where they will be, if at all possible, realized in their productivity as networked agents. How do we illustrate this potential?

 What happens when we are stripped of the sheltered facade of naive realism provided by institutions? What when we are left in the strange space of negotiation between the empirical and relational real? There, on the one end time is relative, the ground or reality is shifting before our feet, its articulation in any single form a mere descriptive fiction that exhausts itself at the planck scale? On the other, personalities can hold whole territories of soft dominion, the whims of loved ones can feel larger than life, a friend group can be like a tent of christmas warmth while neighbors can seem cold and zombie like.  Ethereum offers, finally beyond the illusory, narcotic treatment of the institutional reals, a means of crossing the gap of non-knowledge with a non-presumptive hand. Minimum viable consensus, stripped of cultural compulsions or agreement beyond a deterministic computational ground.
