Human Meme

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.

Today, we embark on a spine-chilling journey through the annals of history, where we'll uncover how the light of knowledge casts dark shadows of terror. As we dig under the strata of civilization, we'll explore the paradoxical truth that often, it's not the unknown that we fear the most, but the known. Brace yourselves, as we dive into the depths of human understanding, where each revelation brings us face to face with our deepest fears, and where the knowledge we possess turns into the nightmares

The use of performative emotion to control or influence others is a multifaceted issue. Public outbursts, whether of joy, sadness, or anger, can be powerful tools for garnering attention, sympathy, or support. Social media platforms, with their broad reach and instant feedback mechanisms, provide a perfect stage for these performances. When someone shares a highly emotive post or video, they often receive immediate reactions—likes, shares, comments—which can be gratifying and addictive. This instant

Unmasking Narcissism: Navigating Self-Love, Myth, and...

Human Meme ·

2023/12/14

Let's begin with the term itself. Narcissism. A word that echoes through the corridors of history and mythology, finding its roots in the ancient Greek myth of Narcissus. Who was Narcissus, you ask? He was a young man of extraordinary beauty, so enamored with his own reflection in a pool of water that he lost the will to live for anything else. This tragic tale serves as a cautionary metaphor for excessive self-love and the dangers of being consumed by one's own image.

Let's start by understanding why some parents become helicopter moms. Often, it's driven by anxiety and fear about the child's future, a desire to protect them from failure and harm, and societal pressures that equate constant supervision with good parenting. The intentions, albeit rooted in love, can lead to unintended consequences.

2023/12/10

Deux Ex Machina: Originating in ancient Greek theater as a literal "God from the machine" - where gods were brought onto the stage by a machine to resolve complex plots - this concept illuminates a critical junction in our understanding of fate versus free will. It referred to the sudden appearance of a god, typically hoisted onto the stage using a machine, to resolve a seemingly unsolvable problem in the plot.

Let's start by demystifying these two realms. Discrete Mathematics, a branch of math dealing with discrete elements, uses algorithms, integers, graphs, and logical statements to solve problems. It's structured, precise, and often involves step-by-step procedures. Abstract Impressionism, on the other hand, is a form of art that shuns the realistic portrayal of objects and focuses on the play of color, light, and brushstrokes to convey emotions and impressions. It's fluid, spontaneous, and
