Re: Do you want to have kids?


I have also been dreaming of such a community. It helps that I've also partially read that same book.

However, I fear if we tried nowadays it could end up like these guys .

There's also the fact that communities in general have been greatly eroded over the years. I blame things like the media ...

Re: Do you want to have kids?


My three objections would be:

1. It isn't always clear when the author is talking about basic versus functional illiteracy. I'll admit people are reading less books, but given how much of the world is mediated through writing, I don't think basic literacy is in decline.

2. I'm skeptical that ...

Re: Do you want to have kids?


That sounds unlikely. What source did he provide for that claim?


Here's the full excerpt from the book, with the corresponding footnote:


Intellectual Espionage

At the start of WWII millions of men showed up at registration offices to take low-level academic tests before being inducted. 1 ...

Re: Do you want to have kids?

Re: Inconspicuous signaling to fellow MAP's you are a MAP?

I feel like inconspicuous signals like that are only useful for offline communities, which we don't really have, unfortunately. It's never too late to try and make one, though. You could use slightly more conspicuous means to gather a group of maps, then convince them all to wear a certain signal ...

Re: First time in a map forum

Hello, Michelle. Welcome to the community! I hope you enjoy your time here.

Do you have a particular age of attraction for girls and boys? I'm especially attracted to both boys and girls between 11 and 14.

Re: How Do We Find Our People?


There is the danger of being perceived by genuine MAPs, as an agent setting out on an entrapment mission, and by non-MAPs as a target for an entrapment mission.


Yeah, I'm fully aware of those risks and ready to take them on. Though, I do worry that maps will be too afraid to join. Hopefully ...

How Do We Find Our People?

Organizing is the first step to meaningful political action, and the first step to organizing is getting to know your community. It seems clear to me that building local communities where maps can meet, interact, and learn from each other is the next logical step in our road to liberation. With this ...

Re: What race are you more attracted too!!!

I'm glad to see that there's such a diverse range of attractions here!

Since I'm Black, little black girls and boys have a certain "kid-next-door" appeal that I find super attractive, but I'm also drawn to east and south-east asians. Of the three girls I crushed on hardest as a kid, one was black ...
