Human Meme episodes
- Why I Stopped Doing Q&AQuestions and Answers are never a fine format for knowing. We parlay understanding into the realm of an education being found in the question -- and not the answer. The passing of wisdom is not passive, it must be dynamic to be effective; and parsing a question into an answer is like pressing a box into a circle; it may fit, but it shall not spin.11 min
- Turning Down a LifeHow many life-changing opportunities are offered in a lifetime? The answer is, "only one that matters." We ask how many of us are able to not only recognize the "once in a lifetime opportunity" -- but then also leap to accept it in total? Some language, NSFW.16 min
- Leaving the World"This is not the world I wanted to leave for you." Those final words of Dr. Howard Stein still ring within all who knew him. We consider the legacy of thought, and the embedded actions, others leave in their wake as they begrudge this world.16 min
- The Script Doctor is In!A Script Professor is a Script Doctor! We share the secrets of a career as a working Script Doctor for the past 30 years. What does it mean to fix someone else's work? What are the pinnacles? Where are the pitfalls?17 min
- All My TurdsLabels matter to our children. Some online mothers give disparaging nicknames to their offspring. In this NSFW episode, we wonder about the terrible names some mothers use to insult their kids through false terms of endearment.11 min
- TL;DL No Agent Needed!Too Long; Didn't Listen: No Agent Needed! We take on the matter of entertainment representation. Do you need an agent? No! Do you need a manager? No! Do you need an attorney? Yes!18 min
- The Case Against a PowerPoint SocietyBelieve in blood, not bytes. We urge you to stop using PowerPoint to present ideas, and instead rely solely on yourself. Your body, and mind, are more than enough to engage other rhythms of beating hearts.12 min
- Loud On 16Even in a highrise, there is social separation. Structures divide our social strata floor-by-floor in an urban building to uncover all the ills of social memeing that still separate us straight from the center.14 min
- Arclight of GaslightingWe manipulate the truth through persuasion. We explore the horrible, psychological killer -- GASLIGHTING -- and its effect on the honor, and cogency, of a human community of minds.13 min
- Pete and RepeatWe prefer to wallow in the together known, than wander into the wilderness alone. We examine our need to not only travel back in time, but to actually relive what we experienced there, while forever escaping the future. If we find comfort in the repetition of aesthetic, then we must also accept the reality that we are no longer our experiences.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.
