Today’s Question of the Day might sound like it came straight out of a spy novel—but it’s asking something deeper than it appears.

Would you vanish off a sailboat into the fog? Go out in a blaze of cinematic glory? Slip away unnoticed and reinvent yourself in a quiet fishing village where no one knows your name?
