Human Meme episodes

  • You Remember Me
    Memory is all about perspective. We uncover the trick of memory and storytelling. Who remembers, and what, defines the discovery of what really happened? Characters have a truth of their own that cannot be redefined later, by a deft and talented, outside hand. This is a story of the conflict of dramatic storytelling between mentor Marshall Jamison, and his protégé.

  • Directed Live Lucid Dreaming
    We may escape this world through the mind of our bodies. We take you on a guided journey into the float of Lucid Dreaming. Find the way to escape the now, and to live, and breathe, in any time, and in any place -- of your willful choosing.

  • How to Read a Dream
    We dream in the world, we live in a dreamscape. We reveal the secret moments of knowing the self, and of understanding the world, that only occur when we actively leave what we know to live in a dream state.

  • Choice Between Red or Blue
    The choice is within us, never outside our stars. We lash together the intricate details of the options we have in life. Do we choose -- or are we picked? How many circles may we create without breaking our initial wisdom? The decision, even the false option, belongs only to us.

  • Ye Shall Write to Be Found
    Those who need to find you, shall find you! We delve into the memeingful moments of an author's life. Do you write to be read, or do you write to have written? In the examples of J.D. Salinger and Truman Capote, we search for the resonance of purpose, and the reasonableness of prestige in the darkness.

  • Mormons and the Doomsday Prepper
    Those who prepare to live -- also prepare to die! We rally to the cry of The Doomsday Prepper who is always scheming to die to survive; and, in some ways, so too, is the faithful Mormon family. What happens when those of us who are not Preppers, or Mormons, also survive the end of the world? Do we all share everything? Can you kill enough people who want to take the stuff you stored? These are the conundrums of modern living that will bite, and chew, every survivor -- without swallowing!

  • Every 100 Years, New People
    Every century, or so, we are all replaced! We wonder if we really understand how to manage our hundred year window on life, or if we waste ourselves, elusively, in the search for meaning in work, and in the hope of connecting with another.

  • Václav Havel: Velvet Revolution Playwright President
    Václav Havel was a Playwright Head of State. We discover delight in the life of Václav Havel, who spent a lifetime of learning to defeat Communism in Czechoslovakia, and who then became a democratically leader of the free world. A Liberal Arts education matters and has grand substance beyond the theoretical and the performance.

  • To Free Or Not To Free!
    Life is now about paying for access to the best people. We share the realization that to be a fully propagated person, you have to pay to play. You pay the doctor to see you without insurance. You pay The Ivy League, not for just an education, but for access to knowing... people; and this is all the start of opening your wallet to buy your way into more than a middling life.

  • When All the Old Haunts Disappear
    We cannot go home again, except to ghosts. We try to return to the living, but we fail because we are unable to recognize, from afar, what we once knew, is no longer. We step back in time to demonstrate how only those who escape, are able to know what was has been lost in the bones.
