Welcome to the weekend edition of the Daily Stoic. Each weekday we bring you a meditation inspired by the ancient Stoic, something that can help you live up to those four

Stoic virtues of courage, justice, wisdom, and temperance. And here on the weekend we take a deeper dive into those same topics. We interview Stoic philosophers, we reflect, we prepare, we think deeply about the challenging issues of our time. And we work through this philosophy in a way that's more possible here when we're not rushing to worker to get the kids to school.

We have the time to think, to go for a walk, to sit with our journals and to prepare for what the future will bring.

Hello, I'm Hannah and I'm Sieruti and we are the hosts of a Redhanded, a weekly true crime podcast. Every week on Redhanded we get stuck into the most talked about cases.

We also cover the Idaho student killings, the Delphi murders and our recent rundown of the Murdoch saga.

Last year we also started a second weekly show, Shorthand, which is just an excuse for us to talk about anything we find interesting because it's our show and we can do what we like.

We've covered the death of Princess Diana, an unholy Quran written in Saddam Hussein's blood, the gruesome history of European witch hunting, and the very uncomfortable phenomenon of genetic sexual attraction.

Whatever the case, we want to know what pushes people to the extremes of human behavior.

Like, can someone give consent to be cannibalized? What drives a child to kill? And what's the psychology of a terrorist?

Listen to Redhanded wherever you get your podcast, so access our bonus shorthand episodes exclusively on Amazon Music, or by subscribing to Wondry Plus in Apple Podcasts or the Wondry app.

Then, as now, there was a lot of noise.

There were people who had their own agendas, people who wanted to compromise, people who wanted to explain it away, people who thought there were bigger problems.

One of the most powerful scenes in the history of cinema captures all of this coming to a head.

Daniel De Lewis, as Lincoln, is surrounded by a grousin and squabbling cabinet as he pushes for the passage of the 13th Amendment.

He slams his open faced hand down on the table. It buys him a second of silence. Now, now, now, he says, we are stepped out on the world stage.

The fate of human dignity is in our hands. See what is before you. He says to them, see the here and now. That's the hardest thing.

The only thing that accounts. I think of this scene often, but especially lately, because there are many people who seem to be unable to do that who think that the situation we are in follows along the same partisan lines as the rest of the ongoing culture war.

There seem to be many people who think there is something to argue about here that it can be explained away that this is just some extension of that discussion we've been having as a society for some time about privilege.

No, the fact that my publisher sends me early copies of books before they can be released, that's a privilege, something I didn't earn, something that can disappear, something that I enjoy, but I'm not entitled to.

Not being gunned down in the street by hillbilly vigilantes, not having the life slowly squeezed out of me on suspicion of some minor crime, that's not a privilege. That's a constitutional right.

Actually, it's more than a constitutional right. According to the Founding Fathers and many philosophers before and since the rights to life and liberty and property are beyond constitutional.
