Kaizen Asiedu is a Harvard educated philosopher whose ‘clear thinking’ has awarded him recognition by the likes of Elon Musk. While considered a ‘black conservative’ by most of his audience, Kaizen defies labels, preferring to show the math of his thinking to arrive at nuanced conclusions.
This podcast puts the second term of Donald J. Trump under the spotlight. What did he do well? Where did he fall short? In addition Kaizen reinforces the principle that “politics need spirituality, and spirituality needs politics.” And furthermore, “You might not be into politics, but politics are into you.”
His destiny may take him to follow in the shoes of Charlie Kirk, in his own unique way, speaking on college campuses with his blend of compassion and clarity. This was a fascinating conversation that sharpened the sword of my own critical thinking immensely.
