Silicon Valley Can’t Stop Puking Money All Over Soylent

Soylent Coffee: Nootropics, fat, carbs, protein—but will it give you the toots?
It’s been two years since we took our first sip of Soylent (which means it’s been two years since a few thousand people started following me on Twitter because I talked about farts).

Soylent Is Healthier Than the Average North American Diet
Food tastes better than Soylent. On that, there is universal agreement. Bland in flavor but audacious in concept, everything else about the beige food replacement is fiercely contested.

How Soylent and Oculus Could Fix The Prison System
The theme, if you care to psychoanalyze, is control. But in addition to the mental claustrophobia of being locked up, my fear of prison also stems from the fact that some 21 percent of U.S. prison inmates get raped or coerced into giving sexual favors to terrifying dudes named Igor. Living in fear of violence is not part of a prison sentence, but it ends up being part of the punishment all the same. In fact, among the...

Is It Cheaper To Live Off Soylent Or Chipotle?
