Precipitates

There is much talk about the polarization of our times. But polarization is not just ideological. At least not informatively speaking. This week, while some were demanding a drop in apartment rents, on the other side of the social classes, in the high, the very high, another drop that no one had claimed was precipitating at an unsuspected speed, at least for the silent majority who do not have money invested in the stock market. The founder of Nvidia, Jensen Huang, admitted to having had a mistress, Alice Huang, who is accused of being a Chinese spy and with whom he shares a surname. Like Jensen's wife, Lori Huang, née Mills, an engineer who earned more money than her husband but who, when she married, stopped working to dedicate herself to raising their children (oh dear). The children, Madison and Spencer, which could be the name of a clothing store or a real estate agency, work at Nvidia. And Mrs. Huang (the official wife) and daughter Huang seem to be Mr. Huang's image stylists. Or they were, because who knows after this how the family and their various jobs and consultancies will end up. But pay attention, because Jensen's love life went beyond his namesake mistress and, obviously, far beyond his wife. Shortly after the scandal broke (oh!), another mistress appeared (oh!), in this case an employee of the company with the surname Powell. As the saying goes, the more the merrier. Although the rich also cry. Because it has been this second mistress, or her discovery, that has precipitated not only the drop in the stock market but also the resignation of the founder of Nvidia. Rest in peace. For having a harem must be exhausting.

Jensen Huang is another name to add to the list of men who shake their empire because of their virility. Poor things. It must be understood that, before being CEOs, they are people. And that this can happen to any man of any background. It is part of their biology. To let oneself be carried away by sexual desire. Not that I am saying there is no love. Nor am I saying it in a moralistic tone. Of all the things one can do in this world, a sexual infidelity between consenting adults does not seem the worst to me, not by a long shot. In fact, if it is with a spy, it seems exciting to me. And it seems even more exciting to me that in the age of AI, and precisely at Nvidia, sexual power relations still involve a matter of national security and economic turmoil. Because humans, no matter how many AIs and youtubers they have nearby, always end up performing the same play. That is why the classics never go out of style. However they are dressed. Whoever dresses them.

The people demand their rights and the rich continue to have prominence. Typical. All for them. The Andic case has resumed the round of witness statements. And the series does not reach the final chapter. Despite everything, the company, far from rushing, is invoicing more than ever. You never know how personal relationships will affect the economy. The only certainty is that they affect rich and poor alike. But from this, the desired equality does not follow.
