So you know I think eunuchs should take the world, but what about how to start? Well, the commune model would be appropriate here. A group of eunuchs physically in some structure, basically.

I suppose you basically have a monestary--hell maybe you could be making fruitcake! :D I'm thinking though of taking this in a geek direction--math and science all the way. Daily math problems, not prayer meetings.

I'm suddenly reminded of this Dilbert comic strip (don't remember when it was from), where the little boss was saying that the big boss thought the world needed more eunuch programmers. Dilbert replied that the big boss probably meant "UNIX programmers". The little boss told Dilbert to tell the nurse that he changed his mind.

In lieu of the monastery, how about a software company comprised of eunuch programmers. :)

In 12th grade, an assignment at the end of the year was to write our own Utopia. It had several criteria you had to meet, as well. I wish I could find it. Its burried in the closet... Anyway, mine was full of tall, singing eunuchs, genius children, gardens, and great weather.

Wish I had it online somewhere so I could share it. (There was only Prodigy back when I wrote this. 😄 )

Well, there is some amount of historical background to this. Heaven's gate did do software programming, and some of the men were eunuchs. However it was mixed sex. Oneida was started as a utopian commune, but unraveled due to sexual jealousies.
