About

While my primary stage name is Sevano, my real name is unfortunately Kyle. I'm an extremely curious and incivise person who wants to understand things by building and experimenting with them rather than just reading about them, which is probably obvious from the fact that this entire site is personally designed rather than dropped into a template. I work in many different fields, usually for no other reason than personal fulfillment, and I am very ambitious.

While this website exists as a showcase of variety (and an organizational tool for me), most of the projects actually revolve the same fundamental questions, asked in very different ways: how does a person actually work, and what does it cost to change? The Codex takes it head-on with Adaptivism and all of the philosophical and psychological writing contained within it. Alternate Self tells the same story from several different angles as the narrator keeps rebuilding themselves in an attempt to find a perfect self and suffers different consequences for it every time. As useful as rationality is, it's only one side of the story, and I consider it important to understand the feelings of life as well, rather than just the analysis. In both of these projects, the complexity of life is acknowledged, and no universal or absolute solution is preached.

Then there's the less serious projects, first with the comedy channel, which exists mostly to break every expectation the other two projects so carefully set up. I don't think that's a contradiction so much as the other half of the same instinct. I like structure, and I also like breaking it down. I like to believe I'm at least somewhat funny due to my ability to deeply understand things and notice patterns (thus be able to make clever remarks), so my comedy channel is an extension of that. And I'm a game show host as well because why the hell not. It combines my natural curiosity and desire to build things and put them to the test with the question of how people work. I work on a good number of other things, but these are the four primary projects I felt worth discussing directly.

If it's not yet obvious: I don't summarize in one sentence particularly well. Even picking a single umbrella name to include all of this in took an embarrassingly long time, because nothing felt both name-like and accurate to my varied work at the same time. I eventually just gave up and put letters together until I found something I liked. In any case, I don't just look at the pie, I look at every piece, every layer, and every ingredient, and I make a lot of pies. I chose the title "Multidisciplinary Iconoclast" because 1) I work in many different fields, and 2) I want to break down generally accepted beliefs, traditions, and institutions in all of the fields I work, because I think they can all be better, and what I do here is explore how. I don't just analyze or invent things, I improve things.
