City? Probably yes. Country? Probably no.

It really depends on the Size of the “cage” and what it has to “offer” to me. (how entertained I am, how well-off I am)

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

OP go watch the movie The Village

That you, Morgoth? Stop trying to trick me into revealing the location of Gondolin.

Is anyone actively trying to stop me from leaving? Is there any punishment for doing so?

Is the “dangerous” outside because of something invisible, like a plague? Or is the “dangerous” a nebulous claim of “nobody goes out there”

I think plenty of people would try it just to say they did, just like the real world.

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.

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!

I’m too american to listen to what I’m told. I’m gonna get eaten by the titans, sorry everyone

For sure. I’d volunteer to be the first person on Venus knowing it would be a death sentence.

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?

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 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 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.
