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.
Y’all should watch Silo.
Depends on how the city is run. If it’s anything like Paranoia’s Alpha Complex, I’d probably die before even getting the chance to think about doing anything treasonous like that
Shit, I’m the fifth clone in the batch.
Wha’d the four before me do?
That’s classified information. Repeating any of the actions of your previous clones is treason.
Well. Darn…
{note added: Prior clones seen as traitors and or mutants. potentially also communists. Do not trust any fellow troubleshooters, you are seen as disposable.]
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.
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.
*80% of humanity
(Knife goose meme) What are the walls made of? WHAT ARE THE WALLS MADE OF MOTHERFUCKER??
“I want to kill all titans!”
ended up trying to annihilate most of humanity
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.
Curiosity definitely. I love to travel and I’ve gone to places that were fairly dangerous. No active war zones, thankfully, or places with incurable disease outbreaks or anything like that. But I’m less bothered by risk than almost anyone I know.
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!
The person that you are now is not the person that you would be if you grew up in that situation.
That me is a stranger to this me I have no basis to guess what that stranger might do.
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?
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.
I’m too american to listen to what I’m told. I’m gonna get eaten by the titans, sorry everyone
Considering that I ended up getting banished from my personal bubble, I’m betying that I would have ended up on the outside of that wall anyway, so yeah!
Got “Freedom Cities” on the mind, eh?
It depends on how sus the people telling me that seemed. I would definitely question, but the desire to see what is on the outside would probably be inversely proportional to how content I was with life on the inside.
If I was like, “This place fucking sucks,” and they said, “TS, there’s nowhere else to go,” I might take my chances.
Personally? Probably not. Im not much of a rebel or confident enough to push a boundary like that
But we kinda have something like that irl.
If i remember right
The Amish think technology is evil but some leave and embrace the modern world despite that
