About this episode

Kaizen Asiedu discusses his political awakening and the challenges facing society today.

Kaizen Asiedu is a writer, political commentator, and independent thinker. Kaizen shares how a trip to Egypt the week of the October 7th attacks in Israel pulled him out of political apathy, and how watching Trump get shot on live television galvanised him into public action. The conversation covers the poly-crisis facing humanity, tribalism, and political polarisation in the USA. Zuby and Kaizen also discuss the declining IQ of Gen Z, the role of technology in stunting emotional maturity, and moral relativism vs. universal truth.
