If he's a "tech executive", that implies Soylent is "tech"? Basically meal replacements are the same sort of thing as Apple, AMD, and Twitter?
Rhinehart's blog post [1] is one of the stupidest, unintentionally-funniest things I've ever read. I do hope someone fixes the carbon monoxide leak wherever he wrote it though.

I found it insightful, he wrote it in what appeared to be a refreshingly honest/egoless way he doesn't try to act like he understands everything. I (think) I do understand primaries and such, and while they're better than he describes them as, they're a crappy solution to the real problem of a first past the post election system and the "problem" of splitting the vote.
Holy hell there are like 50 sentences in there that could be pulled out and pointed at as strikingly dumb and out of touch.
I don’t quite believe it is written candidly. It reads like a caricature of an oblivious rich person just finding out that not all is right in the world.

Wow. He almost makes some salient points like maybe we should drone foreigners less, but it's drowned out by his complete ignorance of basic things like how party primaries work.
Note to readers: make some popcorn, this one's a doozie
It reads like he cares very much about politics.
i couldn’t get through 4 paragraphs. vice comes across as such whiners.
