The facts are against you, dude. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eunuch#China http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eunuch#China > At the end of the Ming Dynasty there were about 70,000 eunuchs ... Certain eunuchs gained immense power that occasionally superseded that of prime ministers. The Wikipedia article goes on to make a few mistakes by suggesting that Eunuchs were the Emperors' henchmen, and doesn't mention the fact that several of the Ming emperors were in fact deposed, and more were politically neutered (hur hur) by palace eunuchs. In other words, despite a total lack of testosterone, the eunuchs' behavior was still generally aggressive and status-seeking. That makes a certain amount of sense, given the prevailing "design philosophy" [1] of evolved systems. Natural selection only produces incremental improvements, which means there are lots of little widgets doing similar things that are glued on in a half-random way. Self-interest and aggression are central to human behavior, so it seems silly to think --like alchemists who wanted to bottle essences like "heat" or "perfection"-- that all aggressive and self-interested behavior would disappear in the absence of one hormone.
