About this listen

In this episode, we explore the Roman Bacchanalia panic, a historical event where the Senate reacted with extreme fear and repression to private religious gatherings. We discuss how leaders, faced with what they don't understand, often resort to exaggeration and moral panic rather than seeking to understand the underlying needs driving such movements.
