$secondrealm's one and only post on Zora is "Tokenize Everything." Created 5 months ago. We're experimenting with the idea that having one post on the platform will end up being more unique and more interesting than having thousands of posts. We're probably wrong. But in case we're not... https://zora.co/coin/base:0x06175517167f9501b81b1ad92ff423b257a674c8?referrer=0x5573fedf9f390f41033c89eb15dfdb8b1981cd3a

Hey, I’m Eric - Artist, Designer, Technologist. Dog lover (cat agnostic). New Jersey born and raised - ADHD, INFP, w/ strong pattern recognition + highly developed emotional intelligence. - “creative technologist” best defines my skillset best, but mostly driven by curiosity - thrives in ambiguous fast-paced R&D and innovation environments - recharges by being w/ family, reading nonfiction, learning new things, or watching spy, sci-fi, or college football. My crypto roots are modest, but my influence runs deep. Get to know me $BETR... - on CT since '18 as Second Realm (14.7k, x.com/secondrealm) - pioneered Trash Art in '20, the movement @xcopy.eth cites as a reason for going CC0 - launched $TATR in '20, an early SocialFi experiment - created Unofficial Punks in Feb '21, featured in @seanbonner.eth’s PUNKS: NOT DED, and progenitor of the largest decentralized art movement, AltPunks. - ☝🏼 all was anti-establishment before Jun '21, then it quickly became THE culture. - timeline of my work in the space → epr.art Pre-crypto... - 15 yrs in experience design w/ global tech, sports, and publishing brands. - Worked in NYC for 10 yrs, Lived in NYC for 2 yrs, Lived + Worked in Silicon Valley for 5yrs - I no longer have LinkedIn (deleted it) Recently... - returned to Rutgers after 28 yrs, finished my BS in '24, Master’s in '25 - initially interested in decentralized labor economics, but later drawn to tech's impact on workers. - ran a study on AI's impact on the workplace and published a working paper w/ findings, here's a 1-pager → epr.ai What now? - building an immutable artistic framework encoding emotions onchain as the building blocks of a networked art practice → primitives.art

Someone with the account TATR posted this comment on the last-ever /secondrealm newsletter. They get me! 🥔

I was right about one thing in 2020... "[T]hrough social liquidity mining, we can get to 1M wallets." I had no idea it would be by someone else in 2024 with $DEGEN on Farcaster. I had a lot of fun back then experimenting with NFTs and tokens. A small part of the /secondrealm legacy no doubt. https://medium.com/secondrealm/introducing-tatr-a-social-liquidity-mining-token-in-the-nft-art-space-1822cc9122f1 https://www.secondrealm.com/posts/memecoin/

"[Zombie Futurism] doesn't provoke dialogue or critical thinking; it is digestible, easily accessible, and often visually mesmerizing, but it doesn't stick to the ribs of our cultural consciousness." — /secondrealm https://www.secondrealm.com/posts/zombie-futurism/

with the incoming channel updates, i need to make changes to how i use /epr, /secondrealm, and /risingtide channels (i think). i mostly use the latter two as a form of content aggregation, like a bootleg hashtag. but since they're essentially going private, that changes my mental model. the best course of action seems to be to consolidate their future posts on the /epr channel. what do you think? what are your plans?

i'm also focused on unifying my fragmented identity, which led me to close /secondrealm. as Web2 and Web3 identities merge, i believe Web3 identities will have more lasting impact, giving early adopters a unique chance to secure choice identity markers.

the only social tokens i would like for you to collect are my artwork NFTs. i don't understand why artists are complicating it further than that. if you're interested, here is the catalog of every artwork i've ever made under the banner of /secondrealm between 2019 and 2024. https://catalog.secondrealm.com

On Episode 20 episode of the /risingtide podcast I explain the impetus for moving forward w/o /secondrealm. Or as @dkleine put it, my "Ace Frehley solo album stage." 🤣🤘🏼🎸🎶

i don't necessarily do follow for follow on any social platform, but i will follow you if you follow my art channel /secondrealm. i'm really interested in engaging more with people about my artwork and my upcoming projects. and it's where i'll be casting from.

hey $degen fam, is this like an i told you so kind of tweet from June 5, 2019? it took five years, but we're finally here. begging to be tipped in crypto. i thought it was cynical back then. honestly, i hate being right about this. 😟 https://twitter.com/secondrealm/status/1777820930531574229
