Kaizen Asiedu

Like if I wasn't black man living in California named Kaizen and I was just like this person, identity-less thing, what policies and politics and structures would I want that would benefit the whole? So I think that was a really revolutionary concept when I was introduced to it because it's like basically it's being more impersonal when reasoning about the world.

And that's very difficult because, again, the ego is attached to itself. So abandoning that can be scary because you're like, well, what if my needs aren't going to get met if I abandon this way of reasoning? Because everyone is self-interested. I don't think that's a bad thing. I think we can all have it.

enlightened self-interest where we look at our interests and we try to coordinate them with the interests of other people. But I think it's extremely useful to be able to reason without reference to your own personal identity. But it requires finding a level of safety in oneself to do that in the first place.

And then I'm a big fan of yoga. I'm not like really on a path to get better at it. I just like love going to hot yoga. I love how I feel. Acupuncture is great for me. Meditation is really important for me. But for me, the way I tend to veer is like anxious and like always need to be doing something. It's like a compulsion.

So for me, it's actually really important to do things that don't have a point. Like just eat food I like. Don't worry about whether it's the most healthy, optimal thing. Like I like orange chicken. I'm going to eat orange chicken. Or like not try to optimize my sleep hygiene. It's like, yes, I know I should go to sleep at 10 p.m., but I always do that.

I actually want to stay awake late for fun just because it feels like it's like being like a kid again. Kids operate with very little agenda. I think that's one of the things that makes kids so pure and innocent and endearing to us. So letting myself just like let loose more.
