Everything comes from somewhere and everything is going somewhere. Even something as non-biological as an idea (concept, thought, myth, symbol, habit, worldview) has a history out of which it evolved, as well as a process of morphing into to a new form. This is the original concept of a meme as a cultural unit of transmission which follows the same principles of evolution as a gene. Everything comes from somewhere and everything is going somewhere.

The history of ideas studies how ideas move through persons, culture, and history (also called intellectual history, or the archeology of knowledge). This channel is committed to the deep dive into ideas through long form videos which illustrate the concepts, while pausing to have a little fun with them along the way.

History of Ideas is produced and hosted by D. Stephenson Bond who practices as a Jungian analyst, and writes on a variety of topics including myth, symbol, and the history of religion.
