Zuby sits down with Kaizen Asiedu to talk about Gen Z's declining IQ, the social media attention economy, and why performing certainty online is making everyone dumber. Zuby drops a striking fact — Gen Z is the first generation in recorded history to have a lower IQ than the previous one — and connects it directly to phone use, screen time, and the algorithmic echo chambers that prevent young people from ever sitting with a conflicting viewpoint long enough to actually think it through. Kaizen opens up about his own blind spots, admitting he didn't truly understand why people voted for Trump until 2024, and both agree that saying "I don't know" is actually a sign of intellectual honesty in a world that incentivizes instant, performative certainty. A sharp and self-aware conversation about technology, maturity, social media incentives, and why we are all part of the problem.
