Human Meme episodes
- Founding a Journalism SchoolWe need a rethinking of how Journalism Schools function and operate. Today, we work to proactively reimagine the way in which new journalists are trained in America. Do we value ego over function; or must we promote competency over the lie?13 min
- How a Trump Lie Becomes a TruthThere's a gift in being able to convince people to vote against their own best wishes. We are agog at the innate ability of Donald Trump -- our Very Stable Genius -- to tell the easy, harmful, lie with a smile, and a shoeshine.14 min
- Dilution of Equity in Success in AgingEarly success brings late-life misery. At least that's the argument some artists make against their own talent. Why is youthful success is ignored, while failures in later life, are magnified against expectation?11 min
- Born Ambition and the Hierarchy of AbilityHierarchy or Anarchy? Punch back against the baton of ambition -- wonder if who we are to be is born or bred. Know that we must always be particular of the self, without ego or fame, and roll with the necessity of belonging on our own terms.12 min
- Let Scott Frost Leave NebraskaScott Frost has yet to coach one football game at Nebraska; and so, it is now time to let him go. Here is the reasoning, and the virtuous rationale, for letting Scott Frost leave on his own terms when he is ready. Many believe Scott will do spectacularly well at Nebraska and, when he achieves what he set out to do, the real, and true, Nebraska fan will wish him well as he moves on to the next challenge.16 min
- Always a WriterYou are never not a writer! We bring the war to the use of the word "former" in any rational, human, context -- as a curse on every people, and the destroyer of worlds!12 min
- Do I Amuse You?There's nothing funny about presenting false memories as fact. We are missing, and the Virtual Cloud assistants take over this memetic as your hosts. To live, is to remember, and to know, is to be aware of the lies being fed to you as universal, human, truths!6 min
- When a Mother DiesThere is no equal for the loss of goodness. The loss of a mother, is the loss of first light.11 min
- On Being VeganYou can be Vegan without being radicalized. We share casual views on Veganism learned over the last 20 years. There's no need to demonize eating right for the goodness of your heart.15 min
- Elites and Anti-IntellectualismWho gets to claim they are the smartest? Let's take a gander at who we value, and why. Is the blacksmith more important than the professor? Does the gravedigger matter less than the book author? In the world, only production matters; you are left out only if you are pulled behind by your own undoing.12 min
About Human Meme
From the publisher's feed
The Human Meme podcast examines what separates human consciousness from mere biological existence. Each episode investigates the inherited behaviors, cultural transmissions, and cognitive patterns…
that replicate across generations, shaping how we think, grieve, speak, and remember. David Boles, a New York City writer, publisher, and teacher, hosts these conversations as mindfulness with teeth: no production music, no easy comfort, only the direct inquiry into what makes us recognizably human. Since 2016, the podcast has asked why we weep emotional tears, how language emerged from gesture, and whether memory constructs or reveals the self. The irrevocable aesthetic is the commitment to answers that, once understood, cannot be unknown. Be a Human Meme.
