No the person who came up with this you probably just kill themselves cause obviously they don't enjoy life.

I mean I know i said earlier that eating doesn't have to be pleasurable and can just be functional which is exactly what soylent is all about, but the truth is i don't TOTALLY 100% mean it. I mainly tell myself that right now cause i'm dieting but i can't even say anyway that i don't enjoy what i eat right now. But i probably could enjoy it more, if i ate shit again. But i haven't given up on it entirely nor do i plan to ever. Someone functioning on soylent has given up on the pleasure of eating entirely. They might as well be a robot. Which is really the kind of people he had in mind. I remember on colbert he was talking about how he came up with it because he was writing code and had to stop for meals and would kinda forget to eat and hated to have to spend time eating right...

also...REALLY you're gonna name your food after a fictional food product made out of people? I guess he figured that WOULD appeal to coding nerds.

the guy who came up with soylent is the kind of person who wears the same thing every day. someone like Mark Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs. People who have 4 pairs of the same pants, 10 of the same Tshirt and 3 of the same shirt. They view having to make daily decisions about "trivial" things like food or their clothing as a waste of time.

i've heard the guy talk in interviews about how he thinks eathing three different meals a day is time consuming and a waste of time.

The irony here is that there's already a product like this. It's called Ensure.

Everything in life is a waste of time, you eat three different meals a day because it's pleasurable
