Hossam Badrawi Official Website
“The book is a mixture of autobiography and human memories, with the ability to extract the meaning from realistic stories and quiet writings, in simplicity and pride together, trying to put the facts on the tongue of its owner and to hide behind the texts, out of respect for the credibility and appreciation for the transparency that appears in the lines of the pages of this unique book of His type, which expresses the true Egyptian character, especially his call for permanent joy.” Dr. Mostafa El-Feky
“Hossam Badrawi is a fabric alone, whether in the formulation of the name of his book or its content. The name (me and memes) is unparalleled, and it is a state of development in the direction of the future. That is why Badrawi founded the Association of Dreamers of Tomorrow, that is, the owners of future visions who are at the same time the owners of creative and independent visions.” .. Dr. Murad Wahba.
“The book is like a scientific and philosophical encyclopedia that contains a lot of drawing, music, and all kinds of knowledge and music. We rarely find a book that includes all these cultures, arts, and education. Rather, he entered it – with great skill – politics as well. Really, Dr. Hossam Badrawi contributed with his book “Me and Memes” to The Enlightenment Movement, and understanding many of the secrets of life, which will facilitate access to balance and mental health.” Dr. Ahmed Okasha. Three of Egypt’s giants in writing, science and philosophy write the introduction to Dr. Hossam Badrawi’s “Me and Memes”, published by Al-Mahrousa Publishing House, in a medium size of 250 pages, supported by the “barcode” feature to add and clarify information in a more comprehensive and larger way, and artistic drawings drawn by the writer himself, Dr. Hossam Badrawi. The book is a comprehensive collection of ideas circulated by Dr. Hossam Badrawi, my dialogues with young people dreaming of tomorrow, and he says: “Ideas, unless documented, do not exist. Therefore, I am keen to publish my ideas and document my positions, perhaps they will benefit the youth of my country and my children. In my book, I answered questions from young people and friends about My being and the seeds of my sentimental fabric, we do not often think about (why are we?) or (who are we?), but the youth’s questioning made me go back to days before, a date that was not written, and the reasons that led to the existence of this moment and this person. The book begins with the chapter “The Chapter Before the First”, which has the largest share, and explains that naming, because it gives the reader an overview of the writer’s psychological and mental composition, and does it connect ideas and principles with one fabric? And if so, what are its pillars on which this consistency is built? As for the name of the book, once you read its title, you wonder: Who are the memes that Dr. Hossam Badrawi is talking about and making it the title of his book? What is in life, and stronger than armies, is (the idea) when the time comes for it to come to light, and the conscious mind is capable of respecting the idea even if it does not believe in it, so a few pages were devoted to dialogue about awareness and its importance, and ideas and how they are transmitted from one person to another and from generation to generation And from time to time.”
Regarding the word “memes”, Badrawy says: “Memes made it the title of the book because it is a book about ideas and thinkers, and it is a call to society to use the best of what we have as human beings and what the Creator distinguished us from the rest of His creation, which is the mind, to spread our ideas, indicating in the introduction to the book that the word English (Mem), which is a term that refers to an idea, behavior, or method that spreads from one person to another within a culture, often with the aim of conveying a specific phenomenon, or a meaning embodied in this idea, and the “meem” works as a unit to carry cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, which can To move from one mind to another through “writing.” I personally see that the name “the meme” makes the reader immediately remember the famous Faten Hamama movie “Empire Mim”, which was named in relation to the husband’s love for his wife in the movie “Mona” and made all the names of his children They start with the letter “m”.
The greats who made the conscience of the writer, Dr. Hossam Badrawi, dedicated the second chapter to them to write about them and with them. He documented his gratitude for these personalities in recognition of their beauty and their influence on his life with their thoughts and actions and how they illuminated his mind and the mind of many generations, including: Ali bin Abi Talib, Al-Akkad, Taha Hussein, and Zaki Najeeb Mahmoud , Ihsan Abdel Quddous, Khalil Gibran and many others. The youth and family dialogues about values came in the third chapter, and the writer focuses in this chapter on memes of values – as he put it, referring to the blame directed at him by some young people for the responsibility of the adult generation for the loss of many meanings of values due to the hypocrisy of society, religious in form and fanatical at times, Many worried about the future of Egypt and the fear of losing “humanization” in our pursuit of “digitization”.
In the fourth chapter, Badrawy emphasizes the importance of joy and happiness, and we must all strive for it and the importance of taking our happiness into our own hands and being optimistic about life. Parallel universes and ascends with his ideas of what consciousness is and its relationship to quantum physics and the veneration of science and scientists.
Badrawi concludes the book by separating “memes and memes” with an article entitled “They are driven and we are free to choose,” on the value of the mind in a society dominated by a male dictatorship that does not want to prepare itself with discipline and training, but rather wants to erase the existence of the other – and they are half of society – by preventing and commodifying them (making them a commodity). ) and objectifying them (making them something), is a substitute for respect for a human partnership in existence, and knowledge of their merit in the origin of life.
