About
I make videos and people think I'm funny. When I tell jokes on stage, people laugh and they listen. This lets me change a lot of minds- I plan on using that to make people more aware of problems like AI x-risk, ecological disaster, mental health, etc
Impact
I've gotten dozens of messages from people telling me I have improved their life, saved their marriage, made them reconnect with old friends, etc. The more people I can reach and make laugh and think critically, the more good there is in this world.
Progress
I've grown a page organically to 80k followers on instagram without any funding. I live off of around 700 dollars a month in a shack in the middle of nowhere. I think with funding I can really launch into the mainstream.
Team
I stayed at PDKU and had multiple people tell me I was the funniest person they had ever met. I try to not let it go to my head, but I do think I have a mission to use my charisma for good in the world. I am a powerful personality.
