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.
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??
*80% of humanity
I’m too american to listen to what I’m told. I’m gonna get eaten by the titans, sorry everyone
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!
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
That you, Morgoth? Stop trying to trick me into revealing the location of Gondolin.
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.
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.
Is that you, Eren?
Yeah, had the same thought. Attacking on Titan, Eren vibe.
I thought the same thing!!
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.]
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.
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.
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.
