Human Meme episodes
- Ubiquitous Distribution ChannelsHow do we distribute knowledge, and information, and human emotion? We uproot ways of thinking about publishing, broadcasting, education and religious tenets. In the end, there is only one distribution channel that matters across every simple syndication and human emotion.13 min
- De Anima and the Demon SoulAristotle tried to give form to the function of the human soul. We search the human experience for meaning in the evolution of our communal concept of the soul -- ending in an indictment of what has become, in the Modern Age, the moral ubiquity of the Demon Soul!14 min
- Black Rum, Blacker PrideJames Baldwin was one of the greatest Race Writers in America. We examine the biting words of the author in historical context.

- Crumbling in a Pyramid of LiesHow do we deal with serial liars? These professional fibbers build up each lie, carefully, preternaturally, like spit on a broom!

- Final Measure of MercyThe last full measure of devotion divines us. How does the commoner find the way to the unadorned grave? We use the inspiration of Abraham Lincoln, Sen. Robert Kennedy, and Teddy Kennedy to bring us to understanding, and closure, for the regular lives lost among us.10 min
- Renewing the CovenantHow do we keep alive our connection with each other? We stay together by renewing covenants, closing circles, and remembering who and what we wish to become. We use the examples of a Washington, D.C. theatre, Columbia University in the City of New York, and Rep. John Lewis -- all as exemplars of covenants warned in excellence.13 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.
