Podcast Description
Science, philosophy, psychology, quantum physics, religion. In all these areas, we see the world based on what comes from others. Which means we're actually thinking with somebody else's head - not necessarily our own. And how much of those philosophies, ideas and theories are true? Thanks to the work of Brazilian/Austrian psychoanalyst and social scientist, Dr. Norberto Keppe, separating the wheat from the chaff is a lot easier today. We'll explore this rich and provocative territory in this podcast. Email me about your thoughts at rich@richjonesvoice.com

The Keppe Motor: Revolutionizing Science, Technology and Energy | They're forecasting possible energy price hikes of 30 - 50% this year. On top of a recession, it's hardly good news.

Obama: Hope and Virtue | We've heard the spin. The rhetoric-loaded speeches that gave us goosebumps. The hand-on-the-heart pledges that promised to lead us out of the darkness.

Economic Crisis III - Psychoanalysis of Society | We’ve got change in the White House. And in the tennis ATP rankings. A change in Madonna’s marital status, too … for what that’s worth.

Very disapponting
I love alternative views, but the ignorance on the HIV/AIDS episode is over the top....discussing AIDS and disputing science with "stories" about gay parties in the 70's with homosexuals using drugs and partying for 2-3 days lead to a weakened immune system might be true in many cases.....but not all HIV transmission is linked to theose cases...and the discussion about "poppers" being used by homosexual men to open the ANUS for sex....give me a break.....TOTAL IGNORANCE
This podcast is a highly religious (manipulative) podcast full of mis-information.
Please listen with your own head and be careful of what your mind absorbs from the internet.
Whether you agree or not...thought provoking
For those of you who haven't listened to any of the podcasts and are basing your decision whether or not to listen, on some of the negative reviews that have been posted, please keep an open mind and heart and don't be put off by the hateful negative responses/reviews that are offered by some. Listen and then judge for yourself and remember, it is possible to express your opinion, and show off your intellect even if you disagree with someone, without spewing hatred and ugliness.
