>Are you saying that because he invented something that changed the world, his misbehavior should be ignored?

Yes or at best give him a slap on the wrist. You are not comprehending the scale of change that he is involved in. He is shifting the course of humanity. People don't go to jail for cheating. Right? Why don't people go to jail? Because it's not that big of a deal. It's wrong. But the punishment fits the crime.

There are ALSO no specific bylaws for firing an executive for an affair. ALSO because it's minor. Most successful executives that are making the company a shitload of value won't fire someone for that.

>Which is immoral of them

Strict morals is a sort of evil in itself. It displays a lack of intelligence and awareness of how morally grey reality is. In changing the world, Jensen could be involved with the lives billions. He could be responsible for immense poverty or immense wealth and greatness for all of humanity. We don't know, but stopping all of this because of an affair is ludicrous.

Now I know what kind of person you are. This is the last time I will (if I notice your username) respond to anything you say. I'm not interested in discussing anything with you. Bye.

		It's not the case that doing good makes one's bad deeds less bad. In isolation, I think that quoted line is (morally) correct, though. Moral conundrums abound, I've got a list of several hundred written down somewhere, so being hardline about everything is just a way to be more aggressively wrong. (I'll note that the question of whether to punish somebody is separate from the question of whether they did wrong. What's punishment? It evolved alongside payment and vengeance, and now it has extra functions, such as deterrence, and taking power away from people who are statistically likely to do further bad things. It's related to the paradox of tolerance, and it's a desperate measure. It's not rational. The world should not run on punishment! The rational thing to do is talk everything out. But since that doesn't happen, punishment is the suboptimal but practical solution to conflict. When it comes to punishment, we do take people's good deeds into account. Don't ask me how that should apply to Huang, this is just a footnote.)

		I could give a shit. You’d do well not to respond to anyone.
