Would you curiosity win? Or would the fear of death win?

If you’ve watched Avatar, I’m talking about city like Ba Sing Se, but IRL.
Nice try, raider. I’m staying in the vault.
Would you clean?
I want to go out.
I think there are too many factors to account for to give a good answer.
But realistically: If the walled city was stable (relative to what I knowz I can only compare things to what I know and have experienced) and my life was alright or better then or course I would stay. If I had kids in that city I would probably stay.
If it was a shitty life inside those walls, of course I would find a way to stealthily leave.
Depends on if the colossal Titan and armored Titan breaks through the wall. And I become radicalized at the sight of my mother being eaten that forces me to bring about the downfall of all humanity.
“I want to kill all titans!”
ended up trying to annihilate most of humanity
(Knife goose meme) What are the walls made of? WHAT ARE THE WALLS MADE OF MOTHERFUCKER??

I mean, they could. They would just have to take a bus lol

I’d suspect there’s something I’m not being told but I wouldn’t be brave enough to find out
Shit. There are no walls keeping me in, and no one is telling me the world outside is dangerous, but I barely ever leave anyway. When I do leave, it’s only to a small handful of relatively close places where I feel comfortable.
OP go watch the movie The Village
Or pretty recent, The Silo. Its very good but it’s mostly* only on APPLE TV
- 🏴☠️
Yeah Silo is pretty good, second season was a little slow but still good.
Also it’s based on books!
I am disabled and unable to drive thus holding a proper job is difficult.
i’ve been on an effective island with ‘visits’ to ‘the outside’ on rare occasions and largely when picking up things from lowes or family functions.
What you ask is not a hypothetical for me.
All it takes is for leadership to slip up one time to start questioning everything else they told you. Like learning the tooth fairy doesn’t exist, casting doubt on the easter bunny and Santa Claus - except there’s incentives for belief. Would I go on with the charade while harbouring doubts? Escape entirely? Depends.
At the very least I’d carve a glory hole in the wall.
I’d probably go insane from living around that many humans. Normal cities are awful for me, I can’t imagine being in one I can never leave.
The new neighbourhood layouts are really nice. You’d think there would be a lot of foot traffic but it’s not really crowded. And with actual concrete construction, you hear so little you may as well not have neighbours.
I’d still know they’re there, and I still can’t see the stars, and there’s no wildlife or untamed land.
Got “Freedom Cities” on the mind, eh?
It depends on a number of factors.
How thorough is the isolation/how “high” are the walls? Can I perceive the world outside the walls in any way?
How good is the propaganda?
Do I have anything to lose other than my life? Do I have a community I care about within the city? A family? Children?
For sure. I’d volunteer to be the first person on Venus knowing it would be a death sentence.
At least you’d be remembered forever 🫡
I’ll never forget whoever that was!
Depends on how high you are. (In the atmosphere, physically, not just totally blazed.)
Should We Colonize Venus Instead of Mars?
At a specific altitude, the atmosphere of Venus is the secondary most hospitable place in the Solar System after Earth. You’d “only” need an oxygen mask and protective gear from the acid rain iirc. So like pressure and heat would be within human tolerance. I don’t remember well watch the video.
Depends on how small or hard/easy life is there. I would argue that there is a sweet spot where if life is just hard enough to keep you busy but comfortable enough to keep you satisfied, most would never care. Too hard and there will be those who would take the risk, too comfortable and there would be those who would seek it out.
Personally if I lived my exact same life but in that city, I would go out at least once.
I thought you might have been thinking about Transformers One.
If everything I need is in the city, I wouldn’t leave. I would only leave if pushed to.
