Hey y'all I'm Elwyn. I'm from Florida. I'm a part timer at a box office.

I used to help make short and long form comedy videos full time. I'm pretty proud of the videos I've made. In the heyday our process usually involved someone having a basic idea, then one or two more of us riffing until we had an outline for the sketch that made us laugh. I hope to meet people I have good chemistry with for this process here.

I have an interest in making content that is conscious of the way it patterns the minds of those who consume it. What norms are we reinforcing? What somatic states are we evoking? I think people in short form algo-trance are in a really impressionable state, so we have a certain amount of responsibility to try not to make their mind a messier place to live, and an opportunity to inspire them to be freer. I think Adventure Time is something that does this well.

So much of comedy relies on the 'straight' character being disdainful, scared, or upset with the character that's being weird. I think in real life the best friendships invite you to be strange with one another. Main thing I'm hoping to get out of PDKU is to find a way to contribute to the world that is useful, irreplaceable, and well compensated. Something like 'contrapoints but for x-risk'. I'm interested in going to the sticking points of x-risk communication with the masses and seeing if we can have a discussion that addresses them and also makes us laugh.
