That's a lot of words to express "cognitive dissonance." I'm pretty sure you know exactly why "he isn't speaking from a position of fulfillment" -- you know very well that he is a human being much like yourself, and despite "the guy is worth $35b+" he puts his pants on one leg at a time much like yourself. Your problem is you cannot conceive that once upon a time he had no more than you. But now he is in a different place. Can you not conceive how and why you would get there yourself? Because if you did, I'm pretty sure you'd phrase this comment in a different manner.

  > Who are these people who don't know how to put on pants while sitting on a floor/bed/chair/etc.? That is a great point about the neologism. If you're sitting down you can put your pants on two legs at a time. However, there's something quite "everyman" about putting your pants on standing up, because you can do it anywhere. Inside a bathroom? One pants leg at a time. Getting kicked out of someone else's home barely clothed because "someone else" got home? One leg at a time, albeit at a quicker pace. True, putting on pants two legs at a time from a sitting position is ideal, but it is a luxury.

      If you're inside a private one? Absolutely. Inside a stall? Danger ahoy. Don't ask me how I know.

      Presumably still with the pants on their legs in that scenario.

Your problem is you cannot conceive that once upon a time he had no more than you. Generally speaking people who end up super rich do have more than most people when they start. It's much easier to go from rich to super rich than it is to go from poor to super rich.

  > Generally speaking Why are you saying the word "generally" when you know, or should know, that the specific person is Jensen Huang, whose biography you could easily look up [1]? It makes no sense to say "It's much easier to go from rich to super rich than it is to go from poor to super rich" when you're talking about someone who obviously grew up poor -- except to make a pet point that is completely inapplicable to the subject at hand. It's fine to want to make it but I think you'd get more mileage from that point if you placed it in a discussion about a more applicable subject personality.

    AMD and LSI Logic probably paid OK. MSEE from Stanford though... so he probably had student loan debt. ;-)
