Force Quit
When a specific thought, worry, or emotion keeps looping, you intentionally stop feeding it.
Jensen Huang and the NV1 Disaster
Force Quit allowed Jensen Huang to stop feeding the destructive loop of defending fundamentally flawed technology. When the NV1's forward texture mapping proved incompatible with DirectX, Jensen could have kept arguing for their approach or trying to make it work. Instead, he intentionally stopped the mental process of justifying their architecture and cut off the urge to salvage two and a half years of work.
