Shed a tear, if you wish, for Nvidia founder and Chief Executive Jenson Huang, whose fortune (on paper) fell by almost $10 billion that day.

Thanks, but I think I'll pass.

I’m sure he won’t mind. Worrying about that doesn’t sound like working.

I work from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed. I work seven days a week. When I'm not working, I'm thinking about working, and when I'm working, I'm working. I sit through movies, but I don't remember them because I'm thinking about work.

It is one way to live.

That sounds like mental illness.

ETA: Replace "work" in that quote with practically any other activity/subject, whether outlandish or banal.

I sit through movies but I don't remember them because I'm thinking about baking cakes.

I sit through movies but I don't remember them because I'm thinking about traffic patterns.

I sit through movies but I don't remember them because I'm thinking about cannibalism.

I sit through movies but I don't remember them because I'm thinking about shitposting.

Obsessed with something? At best, you're "quirky" (depending on what you're obsessed with). Unless it's money. Being obsessed with that is somehow virtuous.

Valid argument for sure

It would be sad if therapists kept telling him that but he could never remember

"Sorry doc, was thinking about work. Did you say something about line go up?"

I don't think you become the best tech CEO in the world by having a healthy approach to work. He is just wired differently, some people are just all about work.

Some would not call that living

Yeah ok sure buddy, but what do you DO actually?

Psychosis doesn't justify extreme privilege.

People like that consider scrolling xitter work

He knows what this hype is, so I don't think he'd be upset. Still filthy rich when the bubble bursts, and that won't be soon.
