On September 4, 2026, the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy ended in a mistrial when a single juror would not convict. This episode of Further. Every. Day. traces trial by jury from the Hebrew elders at the gate to that hung jury in Plymouth County, and asks the question the case is really about: who is fit to judge, and what happened to the standard? We read the primary sources and trace every claim to its origin. The episode covers the biblical origin of judgment in the gates (Deuteronomy, Ruth, and the Mishnah's lesser Sanhedrin of twenty-three), the Athenian and Roman juries, English common law and Magna Carta, the struck jury and the older competence tradition, the American founding and the Sixth Amendment, and the twentieth-century shift from the screened jury to the random fair-cross-section jury (Fay, Carter, Peters, Taylor, Duren, Batson, and the Jury Selection and Service Act of 1968). It then walks the insanity defense from the Roman furiosus and the wild beast test through M'Naghten, Durham, the Model Penal Code, and the Insanity Defense Reform Act to Commonwealth v. McHoul, the exact rule the Clancy jury deadlocked under, and closes on the law of the hung jury and mistrial: manifest necessity, Perez, and Ramos.

John Locke's "Essay Concerning Human Understanding Book IV" delves into the nature of knowledge and probability, exploring the limits of human understanding. He questions the extent to which knowledge can be attained, examines the existence of universal propositions, and investigates the concepts of judgment and probability. Additionally, Locke addresses the intricate relationship between faith, reason, and enthusiasm, making this work a profound inquiry into the foundations of human thought. Its themes of knowledge and the interplay between belief and rationality remain relevant today, inviting listeners to reflect on their own understanding of certainty in an ever-complex world.

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux lays out the road to hell by showing how pushing women into college debt and welfare traps kills marriage and kids while state coercion removes all feedback and responsibility.Questions:What challenges will we face in society in the future when some segments of the population have a Neuralink implant and others don't?Would you be interested in creating a series or long-form content similar to Andrew Wilson's Debate University but for the purpose of learning how to reason from first principles? Similar to the early white-board videos from FDR?Define the political Right and Left in the pure abstract without any reference to a particular time or place.Can you do a podcast/video about decreasing birthrates, decreasing fertility, decreasing sperm count, especially in the wester world? Studies suggest almost no one in the west will be able to have children naturally in 30 years... seems like a serious problem.Why are most European nations so determined to destroy their history culture and heritage through Middle Eastern migrants…Can you explain why young men commit suicide generally?Have you ever watched testimonies of people who have died and went to hell on youtube? There are a lot where they are revived and are able to share their story.How would you decide between a guaranteed mediocre life or a slim chance at wild success?You advocate against forgiveness without prior repentance from the perpetrator. Could it be possible that most people just can't walk between resentment and forgiveness, so in terms of total human suffering it is better just to forgive. And that in not forgiving, most people just become shitty judges.In principle I'm inclined to agree with your take but I dont know anyone that has escaped resentment without up front forgiveness. On the average, maybe they get taken for some sort of a ride but their overall life is better.I'm not talking about individual cases here, just on balance and overall human suffering levels, with the average human and their average human drama / life.How can you escape damnation?When society become unraveled, is it due to people forgetting the basics?A house falls when its foundation crumbles.How to solve population decline, gender wars and political divide when Women are getting more far left and men are getting more far right. When the division is being funded by rival countries /globalists?Are you friends with Styx? If so, have you checked on him lately? He's gone off the rails lately. Hope he finds some help.What do you think of the notion that, with some exceptions, conservatives cannot create good art?do you like cats?

John Locke's "Essay Concerning Human Understanding Book IV" delves into the intricate nature of knowledge and probability, exploring the limits of human understanding. Locke poses critical questions about the existence of universal propositions and examines the interplay between judgment, faith, reason, and enthusiasm. This exploration of how we acquire knowledge and the uncertainties that accompany it remains profoundly relevant today, as individuals navigate complex information landscapes and grapple with the nature of belief and reason in an age of skepticism. Locke's insights encourage listeners to reflect on the foundations of their own understanding and the principles that guide their judgments in a world filled with ambiguity.

Send us a textTracing out Adam Smith's Book IV, chapters 1–6, to show how mercantilism mistakes money for wealth, how protection creates monopolies at home, and why free exchange raises real prosperity.

A raw, no-fluff review of The Two Towers — the darker, tighter middle act of LOTR. I cover the split structure, why Book III feels punchier (Helm's Deep, Ents), why Book IV slows to a crawl before the Shelob crescendo, and how pain trains the will through Frodo's burden and Sam's rise. I read this over a couple of months and felt the weight, the world-building, and the payoff.Spoilers ahead: Gandalf's return, the march to war, Frodo/Sam/Gollum through the marshes, and that spider. If you value integrity, patience and quiet courage, this one hits deep. If you've read it, tell me your favourite moment (Helm's Deep or Shelob?).

Lisa had a French assignment due on Sunday evening. She had to choose a poem from Book IV of Victor Hugo's Contemplations and then send in a ten-minute audio file in which she presented the poem, explained her choice, read the poem and finally suggested a parallel with a painting. All the poems in the collection deal with the same subject: the disappearance of Victor Hugo's daughter, Léopoldine, and how sad this death made him. The poem Lisa chose was entitled ‘A quoi songeaient les deux cavaliers dans la forêt' (‘What were the two horsemen thinking about in the forest'). It was Sunday afternoon and I wanted to take a nap after my Nordic walking session, but Lisa wanted to read me her assignment before recording it. She was annoyed because she hadn't found a painting, but a piece of music to go with it. In the notes accompanying the transcript, we're going to look at liaisons in French. When do we do them? When don't we? And so on. Liaisons are particularly important in poetry, because they sometimes make it possible to obtain the required number of feet, for example to form an alexandrine. But what about in everyday life? We'll be comparing the liaisons in today's text and in Victor Hugo's poem. So to improve your French liaisons, the Slow way, I invite you to subscribe to the transcript. www.cultivateyourfrench.com

Marco of Lombardy continues his discourse on free will, deep in the pitch-black smoke of the third terrace of Purgatory where the angry penitents confront their sin.His discussion takes a wild turn: a developmental hypothesis of the soul as a little girl, a scheme that may or may not nix original sin from Christian theology.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we explore this complicated passage at almost the very heart of COMEDY.If you'd like to help underwrite the many fees for this podcast, either with a one-time donation or with a little bit each month as a stipend, please consider doing so at this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:38] My English translation of the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XVI, lines 85 - 96.

These essays from the 1950s are particularly important in the present political, spiritual, and socio-economic situation. They should be of particular interest to our Thelemic listeners and Hermetic students generally. I do not always agree with Jack but I do agree that his work should be revived and reviewed at this critical time. So if you want to know what Maestro Belarion predicted tune in and find out.

Dr. Paul Thigpen explores the historical context of Saint Augustine's association with the Manichean sect, a radical offshoot of Gnosticism. Augustine's journey unfolds, revealing his struggles with lust, his embrace of Manichean beliefs, and the profound impact of a friend's conversion on his own spiritual path, ultimately leading to a heartfelt portrayal of grief over the friend's death.Episode six covers Book IV, chapters 1-16.LEARN MORE - USE COUPON CODE COM25 FOR 25% OFF:Confessions of St. Augustine of Hippo by Anthony Esolen (https://bit.ly/3GX9HdF)The Roots of Western Civilization by Anthony Esolen (https://bit.ly/41Avi57)Saint Monica: Model of Christian Mothers by F.A.

Welcome to another episode of The Action and Ambition podcast! Joining us today is Dr. Vanda, the author of the Juliana series, which tells the story of LGBT's gradual rise from invisibility and terror into a place of "acceptance." These are books about people surviving and rising through difficult and dark days. However, they are not gloomy books. The characters are filled with spirit and lots of humor. Book 1 begins in 1941 and ends when the war is almost over in 1944. Book 2 runs from 1945-1955. Book 3 takes place in Paris in 1955-56 and Book IV covers January - August 1956. The same characters mature and change throughout each book. Dr. Vanda's life's mission is to honor LGBT history: to let people, gay and straight, know that the LGBT community shares a rich cultural history that is as important and as valid as any other minority group's history. Tune in to learn more!
