No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

You're describing Plato's allegory of the cave.
And it's everything for that person, it's all they ever knew.
Check out city of ember.
I'm focusing on what such a state does to the way you see and know.
Yeah, your entire opinion on life is created by the experiences around you.
The book city of ember explores that but instead of a person it's the entire city.
It sounds like a fabulous book.
If all hia friends are stuck in this box with him as well, theres a good amount of psychological studies pointing toward they will all try to kill each other within 6 months to a year, possibly less.
It's a metaphorical box. A limited and clearly-defined reality. Containing all that is.
Does it contain a pick up truck?
Or an aircraft carrier?
Your metaphor does not make any sense with your clarification.
I'll try to stick to the literal in this place from now on.
Perspective: shoebox.
Values: likely shoebox-based, or perhaps worshipping the ever-present AC
Science: science as a set of principles and methods for understanding the physical world wouldn't be affected by a man or men in a shoebox.
are they all in the same box or in different boxes?
We kind of have examples of this. People with limited experience struggle to put themselves outside what they know.
But the question. What about it?
