Human Meme episodes
- Manipulative Immortality in the WordWe write for us, not them. We argue against the reckless notion that authors should write books for generations 100 years out while not allowing the now of us to read the work today.11 min
- The Mirth of SisyphusCamus' Sisyphus was against suicide, but did Sisyphus really take his punishment from the Gods? We contemplate the MIRTH in the Sisyphus myth, and we recall Sartre and Camus to help us existentialize the ratty rationalizations of the despicable rock roller!13 min
- Rule of SuingHow do you prevent someone from dishonoring a contract? We help you figure out how to get the best contract terms and how to deal with the inevitable boor of a business person who refuses to honor a done deal.14 min
- Race TraitorOver the past week, our beloved host was accused of three things. First, he was accused of being a Traitor to His Own Race. Next, he was accused of being a Genderist because he thinks women can be "stolen." Finally, he was accused of being a Big Baby in need of diapering. In this episode, we respond to our accusers!14 min
- Outlier OffensiveThe risk of your life is to become an Outlier and stay one. We explain the value of an authentic Outlier -- one who leaves society to become an extra thinker beyond the common core.14 min
- No Right to Be ForgottenYou cannot make us forget you! We flay the European Union notion that anyone in the world has the "Right to Be Forgotten" in today's digital evolution! It is nigh impossible to erase footfalls that have already been suspended in amber.13 min
- What a Ghoul BelievesWhat happens when a Ghoul unexpectedly wins an election? We interview, for a second time, a conquering Ghoul who will set world expectation for the undead in the next generation!9 min
- Glom ResearchDon't ask for it if you didn't write it! We take on the glommers who want to "borrow" your research, or "take a look at" your Powerpoint presentation, or "grab a copy of" your syllabus. Write your own stuff! Stop stealing content from the rest of us!17 min
- Interview with a GhoulSome Ghouls are too good to be true! We break new ground interviewing an ill-smelling Ghoul on election day! Can this Ghoul win it all with the Kitten and Wraith vote?9 min
- Black Wall of GoldThe Lakota Sioux have spent generations fighting for hills and against pipelines. We make the case that the Black Hills of South Dakota were a first line of defense -- a wall! -- against intruders, until it was discovered those hills were made of gold, and the land was lost to blood and greed. Today, the fight is over Black Gold and pumping stations.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.
