There are more basic desires as well. The warm fuzzy feeling may go towards attracting the opposite sex. I had my testosterone reduced, first through drugs, and then through castration. Did I overcome biases and become “less wrong”? Yes, I did. Any questions are welcome.
Nope, just goes in a different thread, that’s all. I’m interested in hearing about this, but not as a sudden drastic subject change from the main post.
I’m a little confused—are you treating this as an April Fools joke, or do you really want to hear about whether castration is a worthwhile technique? (Although I’d think it’d be hard to reconcile with even embyronic versions of your ‘Fun Theory’.)
What if you came to the conclusion that it (castration) would help you focus on The Thing That Shall Not Be Named and that it would thus increase your chances of success. What would you do?

That’s a topic change. Try the Open Thread instead, or wait until your karma is high enough to post.
Hmm, so “testosterone” and the “s” word are out?

I’m interested in the mental effects as data, not in trying it out at home.

Lojban, is there any chance we could talk privately? My email address is zackmdavis (-at-) yahoo daht kahm.
I don’t care too much about karma, but maybe you do. I’ll try to reach you (under an assumed name of course!).
