After a decade of online content creation, Elliott stepped away from the spotlight (otherwise known as a $10 ring light) to study the deepest structures of the mind. Five years later, Elliott has returned — and he has the Master's degree, the PhD, and the student loans to prove it.
A published scholar of depth psychology, Elliott now uses his academic knowledge and his undeniable comedic chops to analyze culture, politics, and online discourse.
- How?
Well, thank you for asking.
The answer is livestreaming.
- Why?
Well, thank you for asking.
As philosopher Marshall McLuhan said back in 1964, the medium is the message. In this case, livestreaming is the message — or at least a big part of it. We are living in an era of transition, and with that transition comes skepticism toward just about everything that pops up in our feeds. Livestreaming is therefore an authentic, messy, and admittedly terrifying medium that can cut — or clip — through the noise.
- Who?
Well, thank you for asking.
Elliott Morgan is one of the original members of SourceFed, a comedy news channel on YouTube. He also founded The Valleyfolk with three fellow SourceFed alumni, each of whom is a genius in their own right. But enough about them!
Elliott is the co-host of The Fundamentalists podcast with Dr. Peter Rollins, which explores cultural issues through the lenses of psychoanalysis and depth psychology.
But most importantly, Elliott is a former Nickelodeon star, as evidenced by the clip below. Just try and watch this without seeing a star — and scholar — in the making.
