I have no testicles by choice.
Hi Eliezer, I had fun at the 2008 summit and the following OB afterdinner. The one issue I had that seems shared with Reddit is that there are no guidelines for password entry on sign-up. I put in a one-character password and it just said “invalid”.
I’ve used androcur to reduce (a new one reducer was released recently) and androgel to increase. Removal of the testicles brought the level to near zero (adrenals produce some I think).
There is a small community of us (eunuch.org being one place I visited). I did my research, and got what I expected. I’ll have more to say.
Voted up. Tradition is annoying.
I can expand more. I don’t think I have to detail how many men became less rational because of testosterone. Besides the distractions of the preferred sex, there are more subtle “zen-like” qualities of the state. I’ll have likely more to say about the forbidden topic in regards to this state as well.
I have lowered testosterone via drugs then castration.
I don’t care too much about karma, but maybe you do. I’ll try to reach you (under an assumed name of course!).
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.
Thanks! I’ll look up the process to perhaps raise the issues myself.
Reddit has a slick iPhone application, which may be portable. It’s based more on browsing websites, though. Something along the lines may be possible.
I don’t think rebates are strictly added to bet on laziness. It’s not always easy to change the price, so it offers some flexibility for later updates. Then there’s quarterly earnings and other such stuff to muddy up the situation. Hi Eliezer. Hi everyone.
The “winning nothing” is implied, and gets redundant here. Also, couldn’t the math be aligned better to our current system (base ten)?
What’s 3^^^3? I take it more than 27.
I think you are referring to Eliezer Yudkowsky.
Look, I haven’t had the chance to really put together the whole story. I try to at least by somewhat on-topic.
Hmm, so “testosterone” and the “s” word are out?
It’s May. Singularity!
The “S” word is banned until May, but may I bring up the “T” word? Transhumanism, and ultimately posthumanism, will not have the notion of gender—I am certain of that. I have been at varying levels of testosterone following castration, and I cannot say the difference leads to any insight. I prefer to be at low testosterone most of the time just like I prefer to be at low blood-alcohol level most of the time. OK, another short comment, but I can only hope I offered something insightful that most cannot.
