David Boles: Human Meme
We begin with a silence, the kind that rings heavy in the ears of the alone. This is the quiet place many young men now occupy—a self-imposed solitude, carved out not of preference, but of defeat. The dating app didn’t swipe back. The college classroom became a battleground of ideas they couldn’t win. The workplace offered no solace. And so they withdraw—not only from dating, but from the belief that women are allies in life. They begin to bond instead with other wounded men in digital caves, places where contempt is currency and mockery of women is misidentified as empowerment. What has happened? How have we arrived here, in this silo of misogyny?…

1 Lost Dimensions of Roman Civilization After the Fall 39:40
39:40 Spill senere Spill senere Lister Lik Likt39:40
Spill senere Spill senere Lister Lik LiktThe fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century was not merely the collapse of a political order or the ruin of marble monuments. It was the slow eclipse of an entire world – a complex tapestry of cultural practices, technical know-how, intellectual traditions, and spiritual paradigms – many of which vanished forever. Historians often highlight the sack of cities and the demise of imperial authority, yet beyond the smoking ruins lies an even greater tragedy: the loss of ways of life and thought that had no true successor. Reconstructing these forgotten dimensions of Roman civilization requires equal parts scholarship and imagination. What follows is an academic meditation on those elusive losses – facets of Roman society unique to their time, only partially understood today, and largely without modern analog. Each represents a thread of human experience that was severed in the aftermath of Rome’s fall, leaving later generations in a poorer world, often unaware of what had been lost.…

Spill senere Spill senere Lister Lik LiktFirst, let’s be honest: calling something “precious” can sometimes act as a velvet rope, a cordon sanitaire that says, “This is off-limits. This is untouchable and apart.” Think of the grandmother’s china locked in a cabinet—too precious to use, too dear to risk. It preserves a memory, but it can also freeze it, holding it out of the flow of everyday living. You can’t dish up takeout pizza on those plates; you just stare at them gathering dust. That’s the peril of the precious: sometimes, it sterilizes, it sanctifies—and inadvertently, it excludes.…

Spill senere Spill senere Lister Lik LiktAcross the gnawing of human civilization, a subtle yet persistent blindness emerges — one not simply defined by wars, environmental neglect, or productivity cycles, but deeper flaws rooted in the human condition itself. One such blind spot is humanity's relentless misunderstanding of freedom. Freedom, often worshiped as the highest virtue and tirelessly pursued through revolutions and struggles, has repeatedly been misconstrued as mere absence of constraint rather than proactive alignment with genuine purpose and inner fulfillment. Consider the French Revolution, where liberté became the battle cry, yet the subsequent chaotic implosion via the Reign of Terror and Napoleonic wars underscored that freedom misunderstood leads merely to a more intricate enslavement.…

Spill senere Spill senere Lister Lik LiktHenry VIII’s marital saga was as much a tale of personal ambition and passion as it was one of statecraft and religious upheaval. From the outset of his reign, Henry was fixated on securing a male heir—a goal driven by both the turbulent precedents of medieval succession and the very real fear of dynastic collapse.

1 Tracing the Uncanny Valley: From Freud to Mori and the Next 150 Years 21:28
21:28 Spill senere Spill senere Lister Lik Likt21:28
Spill senere Spill senere Lister Lik LiktThe late nineteenth century marked a pivotal shift in how “the uncanny” was understood in art and literature, though the roots of eerie resemblance and disquieting near-human forms reach back further. By the 1870s, a transitional period was well underway in Europe, shaped by industrialization and the popularization of automata exhibitions. The public fascination with life-sized clockwork dolls that blinked their eyes or played musical instruments set the stage for the eerie feeling that occurs when something appears human but clearly lacks a human essence. Even before Sigmund Freud offered his famous essay “Das Unheimliche” in 1919, there were tantalizing experiments and anxieties circulating among intellectuals and the general populace. The German psychologist Ernst Jentsch, writing in 1906, introduced the word “uncanny” (in German, “unheimlich”) to discuss that peculiar shiver one feels when faced with an automaton or a wax figure that seems too close to life. His ideas laid much of the groundwork for Freud’s subsequent interpretation.…

19:01 Spill senere Spill senere Lister Lik Likt19:01
Spill senere Spill senere Lister Lik LiktA hitherto unacknowledged connection that threads through the entirety of philosophical writing—across centuries, cultures, and varying schools of thought—is humanity’s unending effort to sublimate existential terror into a coherent narrative that makes mortal life intelligible, permissible, and meaningful. From the careful syllogisms of medieval Scholastics to the bold manifestos of twentieth-century existentialists, philosophers have not merely flirted with the interplay of reason, emotion, and metaphysical longing; they have continually sought to transfigure our instinctive dread of finitude and futility into something purposeful and noble. The binding force here is not merely the quest for truth or the application of logic, but a more primal task: to shelter the trembling human psyche from the chaos of existence through the scaffolding of a grand conceptual edifice. In other words, all philosophical writing can be seen, at its core, as an evolving strategy for constructing spiritual and intellectual refuges against the terror of nonbeing.…

1 The Unsettling Truth About Pit Bulls: Why Safety Must Prevail Over Sentiment 16:01
16:01 Spill senere Spill senere Lister Lik Likt16:01
Spill senere Spill senere Lister Lik LiktPit Bulls, a breed often defended by its advocates, have been at the center of a fierce debate over dog bite fatalities. In 2020, startling statistics emerged: Pit Bulls were responsible for 72% of fatal dog attacks in the United States, a rate over 16 times higher than any other dog breed. Despite making up only about 6.2% of the total U.S. dog population, Pit Bulls contributed to a disproportionate number of these deaths. During a 16-year span from 2005 to 2020, Pit Bulls were implicated in 67% of canine-caused fatalities in America. These figures gain a grimmer edge when considering multi-victim fatal dog attacks. In 2020, every incident of this nature involved Pit Bulls, often targeting household members, which speaks volumes about the breed's potential for unpredictability and aggression. The argument often presented by Pit Bull owners is that their dogs are no more dangerous than breeds like Golden Retrievers. However, the empirical evidence starkly contradicts this claim. The sheer number of fatalities and the nature of these attacks suggest an inherent risk that is not as prevalent in other breeds.…
