He lives in a box container and (presumably) only consumes a substance that provides all the essential calories and macro-nutrients he needs... He is consistent, I will give him that. Hard to say that is the path I would want my life to follow. Sounds like a remarkably boring existence.

Assuming that's all he eats, I agree that aspect is boring. Regarding the container home: I'm not sure it's totally boring. These things are often about the size of a typical mobile or modular home. It's more like they've repurposed the space. It could be well-done on the inside (no pictures, can't say in his case). And you could (with proper permits) place them in a lot of interesting locales.

  Well, it's not all he eats. Just for routine meals. He treats regular food as a treat or experience to spend your entertainment budget (of both time and money) on.

Well, he owns some property with a box container on it. From his Instagram, it looks like it was more of a novelty hangout than an actual house.

As far as I can tell, he has never actually "lived" there.

> Sounds like a remarkably boring existence. Eating is a boring activity. I would even take it a step further than soylent and like to be injected with all the required nutrients once, daily. If you take into account how much time goes into buying, preparing, eating and cleaning up food, the picture becomes much rosier for something like soylent. If you cut out all those activities, you would save literally years of your life for activities that are actually fun.
