Bring Jensen Back

This whole Jensen story makes me think of something. Jensen made serious mistakes. He owned them, and he stepped down. That's the rule, and it's fair. But look at how people are reacting. Even in the middle of the scandal, almost nobody disputes what he built. 33 years at the helm of a company that became the infrastructure of the entire AI revolution. A technology the whole world now depends on. And I think that's exactly what bothers a large part of the political class. Ask yourself: which politician, on the day of their downfall, will people defend by saying "yes, but look at everything they built"? None. Or almost none. Most politicians aren't problem solvers. They don't think like engineers. They don't ship anything, and they're never confronted with the brutal reality of a product that works or doesn't. Their job is staging. Actors, often not very good ones, who were handed a good set. For decades, that was enough, because people couldn't tell the difference. What's changing is that humanity is starting to sort it out. On one side, the people who create net value. They take risks, build something that didn't exist, and leave the world richer than they found it. Jensen. Elon. Travis Kalanick. On the other, the people who capture value. Bureaucrats, career politicians, and those who figured out that with enough money you don't need to build anymore. You just buy influence. Bill Gates built Microsoft, then chose a different game. George Soros has only ever played that one. The first group is judged on what they produce. The second on what they say. We're living through a real split. A whole generation is realizing that wealth isn't decreed, doesn't come out of a parliamentary committee, and isn't redistributed by magic. It's built by people who code, manufacture, and take risks. The heroes of the 20th century were politicians. The heroes of the 21st will be builders. And the people who never built anything know it.
