This is interesting, but I'm disappointed that you (intentionally?) didn't give enough information to replicate your experiment. What was your final list of ingredients? Where did you obtain those ingredients such that they passed your HPLC test? You say you "outsourced the processing of its core ingredients", but what was the final process done by the cancer researcher? What does this even mean?: "... to feel socially confident or more curious I needed to adjust the dopamine agonization in the prefrontal cortex and GABA agonization globally" It seems like you approached this mostly scientifically, but then you didn't "deliver on the goods" with the write-up. Maybe you are waiting to address some of these issues in your next post about results?

It looks like the author is a Soylent exec.[0] I think it's a test article to gauge interest. [0]https://www.crunchbase.com/person/matt-cauble#/entity https://www.crunchbase.com/person/matt-cauble#/entity

  Confirmed. Just look at the account info.

  If it is then it's poor marketing: there's far too little in the way of real personal context to draw one in. As I read it he leaps from vaguely defined personal issues to self medicating in about three sentences.

    Being on any psychoactive chemicals can cause you to lose awareness, especially depressants when it comes to writing with intention. The other possible aspect is that this post is a starting point for a larger campaign, with this article being an intro of what's to come. However, he could just be ignorant of how to market properly. Or maybe it's just a personal blog.

    I was not involved with Soylent when that event happened. Soylent and I parted at the end of April 2016.

      Might want to update Crunchbase. Couldn't find any clue on Soylent's site that you had left.

I got to 15,000 words and realized that the post was getting to be a 30 minute read. So I decided to split it up into 10 minute reads of how I made it, what it did to me (the results of the experiment), and the details of the neuro-pharmacokinetics of each molecule. Sourcing material involved cold calling hemp farms and nutraceutical formulators and obtaining certificate of analysis for their ingredients then sending them off to a third party lab to run through an Hplc to confirm the results. The lab I used is called steep hill labs. Hope this helps. I really appreciate your feedback. Going forward I will be sure to include more useful details.
