Your dismissal is 100% emotional. Do you have any reasons that I should find it compelling or are you relying entirely on emotional resonance to make your anti-soylent case?


What? The dismissal was that the product previously existed. What's emotional about that?


What's not emotional about requiring products you have no hand in to meet your standards of innovation?


What... what is emotional about that? Saying a product is trying to fill a need which has already been filled is the least emotional reason I can think of to not purchase something.


Fair enough


How about the company itself taking their product out of the market because it's making people sick?


That wasn't the reason given for the dismissal. I'm not arguing anything in particular about soylent, and in fact I don't care about it at all. I'm just pointing out that personal standards are a boring emotional basis for deciding what is innovative.
