Zuby is joined by writer, commentator, and independent thinker Kaizen Asiedu. Kaizen shares how a spiritual trip to Egypt the week after October 7th pulled him out of political apathy and into the public arena, and how watching Trump get shot on live television galvanised him into action with 5,000 Instagram followers and a phone camera. The conversation covers the poly-crisis facing humanity, tribalism and political polarisation in America, the declining IQ of Gen Z, the role of technology in stunting emotional maturity, when violence is a moral necessity, moral relativism vs. universal truth, and why the left and right both have things to learn from each other.
