Seduction by Evil

I'm Richard Lloyd Jones, and this is Thinking with Somebody Else's Head. "The idea of being a victim of evil is quite a comfortable one," writes Norberto Keppe in his book, Psychotherapy and Exorcism.

The Science of Real Problem Solving

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

I'm Richard Lloyd Jones and welcome to another episode of Thinking with Somebody Else's Head. Read the literature about complex problem solving and you're in for a challenging read.

Healing Terrorism

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

I'm Richard Lloyd Jones and this is Thinking with Somebody Else's Head. I moved to Brazil from New York in 2001, 2 1/2 months before 9/11. Talk about timing.

Paradise Now and the Universal Society

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

Way back in English Lit class at Reynolds High School in my hometown of Victoria, I remember Mrs. Kent waxing rhapsodically about Milton's Paradise Lost, and asking us if we believed in paradise regained.

Correcting Metaphysics and Society

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
