I have friends who as an adult one of the parents had an affair and and it was pretty tough for them, and the parent child relationship has never been the same again.

I don't know why you seem to be so against considering Jensen's children. Some people really value the commitments of marriage and see adultery as something very serious and damaging.

And project their world views onto others.

I don't consider his children because they are nepo-babies that were hired into Nvidia, make tens of millions of $$$, and stand to inherit billions. They will be fine.

There are so many other children in the world that deserve consideration before his (grown adult, very rich) children.

Jensen should be apologizing to Americans for compromising NatSec.

> Jensen should be apologizing to Americans for compromising NatSec

Why? National Security is not in his job description.

He does advanced chip technology it's 100% in his job description and is why he spends a full paragraph talking about natsec in that apology letter

There's a tacit expectation that you don't use the privilege of doing business with/within a country to put the people you're doing business with at risk.

The world does not have a finite supply of “deserves sympathy” juice which must be carefully metered. One can reasonably feel sympathy for people (and animals too!) who are experiencing different forms of suffering, even if some are much more severe than others.

If you’re trying to distribute aid resources or something, it would be worthwhile to get an understanding of who is suffering the most. But if someone is just having the normal human experience of feeling sorry when they hear another person is hurt, there is no benefit to intentionally cultivating schadenfreude to shut that down. That’s not an instinct we should encourage in each other.
