Once upon a time, the Man in the Moon, named Lucius, sat idly on his perch above the universe. His glistening eyes watched Earth, a blue-green jewel, whirl around on its axis like a merry top. His face was etched with time and filled with the wisdom of the cosmos.

Under The Absent Moon: A Silent Lesson from the Sky

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.
