About this listen

Imagine spending billions building the perfect wall — only for your enemy to walk around it.This episode dives into France’s Maginot Line, the billion-franc fortress built to stop another World War… and how it became one of history’s smartest dumb ideas.It’s a story about fear, pride, and the sunk-cost fallacy — how brilliant plans can trap us when we can’t let go of the past. Because the truth is, we all build Maginot Lines: the jobs, beliefs, and habits that make us feel safe while quietly holding us back.By the end, you’ll see how a wall meant to protect a nation became a mirror for human nature itself.🎧 Laugh first. Then pause.Welcome to Two Voices, One Brain — where history meets psychology, and overthinking is an art form.
