Behind the Great Reset

As we turn the page on what was surely one of the most unprecedented years in modern history, we look forward to better times in 2021. It’s natural to do that – greet the new with optimism. Hope, after all, springs eternal in the human breast as Alexander Pope noted almost 300 years ago. But

Even Psychopaths Feel Guilt

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

I'm Richard Lloyd Jones, and this is Thinking with Somebody's Else's Head. Back when I was a kid playing street hockey in my hometown, a couple of Dutch immigrant kids came out hoping to join us. They were carrying hockey sticks their father had made by nailing a piece of wood to long broom handles.

The Scandal of Drugs

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

We've seen a lot of good ones go way too early because of drugs, haven't we? Seemed like a new one a week back in the '60s and '70s. Janis and Jimmy. Then Elvis. Now Whitney and Amy. In Brazil, too, some great ones exited early thanks to substance abuse. Elis Regina, Tom Jobim, Tim

Peeking Behind the Curtains of Power

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

Ever since Dorothy pulled back the curtain to reveal a perfectly ordinary Wizard of Oz manipulating switches to make him seem more powerful, the image has served to portray a reality. Somewhere, in the shadows in not behind an actual curtain, unseen forces are in control. Perhaps when they are officially unmasked, they will show

Recovering True Humanity

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

I'm Richard Lloyd Jones, and this is Thinking with Somebody Else's Head. With so much tension and confusion in modern day life, it seems appropriate to do our show, which deals so directly with the core issues of human existence. In fact, perhaps any of us who don't feel deeply disturbed by our situation are

False and True Power

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

We are supposedly deep in the middle of a change in consciousness on our planet. The Aquarian Age, the new millennium, the Third Wave ... whatever you call it, many advocate a new era on earth. I also am optimistic, but I believe some knowledge is missing from our collective education, some missing pieces of

Spirituality and Leadership

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

The murky world of shadows that constitutes modern leadership is not a new thing, of course. The TV mini-series "The Tudors" lays out in all its deceit and subterfuge the nest of vipers that was the British Royal Court of the 15th and 16th centuries. Ancient Rome was no picnic either from all accounts. And

The Wrong Vibration Between Power and People – Highlight Version

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

Our latest Thinking with Somebody Else's Head program explores a crucial question: in order for society to improve, does the individual need to change first, or does the political structure - the pathology of power - need to shift? Norberto Keppe's science of psycho-socio pathology helps us understand this crucial question, and brings a deep

The Wrong Vibration Between Power and People

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

There is, as I'm sure you've noticed, a massive movement around the world of the people struggling to free themselves from the shackles of oppression. The latest initiative - the "I won't pay" movements surging in Greece and a few other countries in Europe, specifically targeting Metro ticket turnstiles. And, of course, the surging up

Removing the Rose-Colored Glasses: The Dangers of Social Alienation

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

I wonder sometimes if young people today admit to naivete. It seems very uncool to be innocent these days. Kurt Cobain maybe summed it up best when he said he was always busy acting like he wasn't naive. Like he'd seen it all, like he was there first. I think that speaks for a generation.
