165 - Witches to Hallucinogenic Animals

Adam and Kyle pick up the broomstick where they left off and dive headfirst into the smoky, suspicious world of witches. What starts as a fairly innocent question - “were witches ever real?” - quickly escalates into mass hysteria, medieval misogyny, and humanity’s long-standing habit of blaming women for… basically everything.From witch trials and public paranoia to the terrifying power of groupthink, the lads unpack how fear spreads faster than facts, and why history is littered with moments where logic quietly left the building. There’s chat about superstition vs science, the psychology of moral panic, and how easily “different” becomes “dangerous.”Naturally, it wouldn’t be the Continuum without a few detours, including modern-day equivalents of witch hunts, social media pile-ons, and the uncomfortable realisation that we might not be as evolved as we think.It’s dark, it’s chaotic, it’s occasionally philosophical… and it proves that whether it’s ultramarathons or witch burnings, humans have always had a flair for dramatic overreaction.Like and Subscribewww.thecontinuumpod.comX - @thecontinuumpodInsta - @thecontinuumpod Hosted on Acast.
